CAADA publishes annual policy report using evidence from victims

Co-ordinated Action Against Domestic Abuse (CAADA) has published the first in its series of annual policy reports, CAADA Insights 1: A place of greater safety. Using evidence gathered directly from victims, the series aims to save lives and money by making recommendations for improving the response to domestic abuse across the UK.

This year’s report is aimed at local commissioners with strategic responsibility for funding health, policing and crime, safeguarding and troubled families services. Using evidence from over 2,500 high risk domestic abuse victim cases, together with information from survivor focus groups, the report demonstrates the best ways to invest limited local funding to keep high risk victims and their children safe. 

The data in the report was collected by 14 IDVA services which used the CAADA Insights outcomes measurement tool in the year to March 2012: the largest dataset of its kind in the UK today. The supplementary dataset has also been published, and this is contained in the appendix document below:
