Duncan Lewis, Family Solicitors, Cardiff Council announces “one-stop shop” for victims of domestic violence

The City of Cardiff Council has announced it will work in partnership with the local health board to deliver a one-stop shop offering domestic abuse support services.

As part of the 2017-2018 budget set in February, the council set aside funding to deliver the project and create a new facility at Cardiff Royal Infirmary.

The new provision will enable Cardiff to meet its requirements under the Violence against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (Wales) Act 2015.

City of Cardiff Council Cabinet Member for Skills, Safety and Engagement, Councillor Dan De’Ath, said:

“Cardiff has a longstanding, successful track record in responding to domestic abuse – and we already provide a range of services to support those who experience such abuse in their lives.

“The one-stop shop is just one element of the council’s plans to pool resources – and improve the way services are delivered in the city, to better support victims of violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence.

“I’m pleased that Cardiff and Vale University Health Board (UHB) have agreed in principle to work with us to accommodate this facility, which will enable us to provide a range of services under one roof, helping to support vulnerable people.

“This is a good example of the maturing partnership working in Cardiff, utilising the opportunity to put supplementary services into the Cardiff Royal Infirmary, which has been identified by the UHB as a key Health and Wellbeing Centre and is to undergo a major programme of investment.”
