Domestic Abuse
Suffering Domestic Abuse? Don’t know where to start?
Ring the CARP
Gloucestershire’s Central Allocation & Referral Point
For all agencies and individuals seeking support with domestic abuse there is a service that will provide an alternative route to report domestic abuse;
- All cases will receive Risk Assessment, and all very high-risk cases will be referred into the Multi Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC).
- All customers will be supported through a Safety Plan
- All customers will be able to discuss their housing needs, and be supported to approach local Housing and Homelessness teams at the earliest possible stage.
- This service will not provide on going support, but will seek to build a support network around the individual to meet their safety, housing and other support needs.
- The CARP will request information about children present in households, to identify lead agencies and professionals to ensure that their needs are identified and met.
Gloucestershire Constabulary's policy to tackle Domestic Abuse
The policy has four principal aims:
To protect the lives of both adults and children who are at risk as a result of domestic abuse
To investigate all reports of domestic abuse;
To facilitate effective action against offenders so that they can be held accountable through the criminal justice system;
To adopt a proactive multi-agency approach in preventing and reducing domestic abuse.
This policy aims to give a clear statement of commitment, which every officer of the Gloucestershire Constabulary must have to take firm action against those that commit domestic abuse and the provision of caring support for those who suffer it.
