I had a thought-provoking meeting with the team at Reducing the Risk of Domestic Abuse last week.
Domestic abuse is a very real issue that has devastating consequences for victims, which is why the work that CEO Dawn Hodson and the team do is so important.
Reducing the Risk provides safe, confidential support for over 200 victims at high risk of harm and trauma each year, helping many of them navigate the criminal justice system. Working in an extremely joined-up way, the team bring local partners together to ensure the safety and wellbeing of victims and survivors and to reduce the risk of domestic abuse in our community and beyond. They also coordinate a vast Domestic Abuse Champions Network countrywide, offering ongoing training and support to over 2,300 front line staff from a range of agencies and services.
Dawn, Emma, Stewart, Nikki and the rest of the team really are unsung heroes.
