Championing co-ordinated, collaborative services
No single agency can keep victims and survivors safe, and we know that a good response to domestic abuse needs consistently joined-up provision. STADA believes that good collaboration is essential to ensure a strong response to domestic abuse, and therefore frameworks for co-ordination must be properly defined and resourced in relevant policy.
Organisations, whether statutory or voluntary, cannot coordinate effectively without the funds and personnel necessary to draw together a range of different areas of expertise and priorities. We will pursue policy change which structures and (where appropriate) mandates multi-agency working.
Our collective influencing work
DAHA National Housing and Domestic Abuse Policy and Practice Group
Standing Together’s Senior Housing Manager chairs the National Housing and Domestic Abuse Policy and Practice Group, bringing numerous organisations together to influence policymakers via a number of channels.
Faith and VAWG Coalition
STADA leads the Faith and VAWG Coalition, a partnership of organisations seeking to o build bridges between members of faith Communities or faith-centric organisations and domestic abuse prevention specialists.
STADA’s entire approach is grounded in collaboration, and our influencing work is no different. We pursue shared policy priorities alongside a range of statutory and voluntary sector partners in line with our collaborative approach.
