Domestic Abuse Policy
4 Tenant engagement
Victims' and survivors' voice
A client engagement exercise has been undertaken in partnership with Community Safety and the Domestic Abuse team to capture the views of clients who have accessed support from local domestic abuse services, including Gateshead's Domestic Abuse Housing Outreach team.
A survey was developed and undertaken with individual clients on a one-to-one basis. Feedback from these surveys (views on what went well and areas that needed improvement), has been used to inform the development of this policy.
The policy has also been consulted on more widely through the council's online portal consultation tool.
