This good practice briefing is on the consultation ‘Transforming the Response to
Domestic Abuse’ (HM Government, 2018)1, launched by the Prime Minister, Home Secretary and Justice Secretary on 8th March 2018.

This briefing provides a resource to support services to respond to the consultation. It presents an overview of the consultation, detail of its key proposals and key points for consideration.
This briefing builds on:

  2018). The seminar was part of Ascent and funded by London Councils. 25
  professionals attended the event. Professionals were from a range of sectors
  including VAWG, health, safeguarding, housing, and probation across
  London. The seminar provided the opportunity for delegates to engage in
  group discussion and a panel session with expert speakers (Appendix 1)
  ahead of the consultation launch.

  to domestic abuse’ (HM Government, 2018).
