Sefton Council Tender

The Recommendations Within Sefton's Domestic Abuse Needs Assessment Regarding Accommodation Included: • The Safe Accommodation Offer In Sefton Should Be Improved. Bed & Breakfast Should Not Be Used To House Those Affected By Domestic Abuse. • Pathways And Mechanisms Into Specialist Domestic Abuse Services Should Be Reviewed. • Using Council Of Europe Calculation With Minimum Recommendation Of One Space Per 10,000 Population, This Equates To 28 Refuge Spaces For Sefton. Whilst Sefton Already Had A Complex Women's Service, This Is Within Homeless Services And Does Not Specifically Address Domestic Abuse. Sefton Is Looking To Commission A Provider Who Can Provide A Person-centred, Trauma-informed Service Specifically For Women Who Have Experience Domestic Abuse. The Service Will Complement The Integrated Domestic Abuse Service And The Domestic Abuse Refuge.
