The Home Office have launched a public consultation ‘Transforming the response to domestic abuse’. 
Throughout the twelve week consultation period the government will be listening to partners, to the many organisations and their staff working to tackle domestic abuse, and to the public. To anyone who has been affected by domestic abuse or knows of someone who has.
This consultation seeks views on a number of specific measures that were set out in the Queen’s speech, as well as views on other steps that the Government can take forward through future domestic abuse legislation. But the Government also wholly recognises that it will take more than new laws to help victims and survivors rebuild their lives and to combat this insidious harm. The consultation accordingly also sets out, and seeks views on, the steps the Government can take to raise awareness, support victims, and ensure perpetrators are stopped.
The Government wants this consultation to stimulate a national conversation on how to prevent and tackle domestic abuse. The Government will continue to work closely with support organisations that do excellent work supporting victims and will be holding a series of events across the country to capture as many views and experiences as possible.
