Domestic Abuse Partnership Board (DAPB)

The Domestic Abuse Partnership Board is a team made up of different organisations that work together to improve support for people subjected to domestic abuse. Their goal is to ensure victim-survivors and their children receive the right help. They also address abusive behaviours and holding those responsible to account.

The core aims of the partnership are:

1. To ensure that the Island is compliant, meeting the statutory duties of the Domestic Abuse Act 2021.
2. Through a strategic approach identify and address gaps in support, including undertaking needs assessments as required.
3. Coordinate interventions to those using abusive behaviours to inform change and disrupt abuse.
4. Develop a domestic abuse strategy.
5. Share learning, recommendations and updates to enable a co-ordinated response to domestic abuse.
6. Collect data to support the statutory required report to the Secretary of State and Domestic Abuse Commissioner's office using the standardised reporting tool.
