Domestic Abuse Policy

13 Safe accommodation

Gateshead's Domestic Abuse Strategy includes our Safe Accommodation Strategy, which outlines the steps needed to ensure that victims and survivors of domestic abuse and their children can access the right support, within refuge and other types of domestic abuse safe accommodation, when they need it. This is a statutory duty under the Domestic Abuse Act 2021.
