Victims of domestic violence said a new approach to support has made them "feel better" about trusting children's social services
The trial scheme helping abuse survivors has been described as a “first” for using those who have experienced abuse as go-betweens to improve trust with childrens’ social services.
One domestic abuse survivor said the approach “just made [her] feel better” when it came to engaging with social services. She said: “I’ve been a mum for nearly 12 years, and then suddenly to have so many professionals involved, it’s scary."
