Domestic abuse and sexual violence

Our 2023-28 strategy for ending domestic abuse and sexual violence in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly has five priorities:

1. Strengthening prevention and early intervention.

2. Increasing access and breaking down barriers.

3. Behaviour change, justice and protection.

4. Greater support for victims and survivors.

5. Working together.

CIoS Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Strategy

Our cross-partnership conference in October 2023 brought together national and local experts and services to discuss how Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly are tackling the root causes of unhealthy relationships, domestic abuse and sexual violence (DASV) and violence against women and girls (VAWG).

Speakers included the Domestic Abuse Commissioner for England and Wales, Nicole Jacobs; Michelle Griffith Robinson OLY; Laura Bates of the Everyday Sexism Project; and Nathaniel Horne from Beyond Equality.

MARAC (Multi Agency Risk Assessment Conference)

All services have a MARAC and DASV representative to provide support determining whether a case should be referred to MARAC, based on the level of risk being identified, professional judgement or risk of escalation.

You can refer to the MARAC directly using the MARAC referral form.

Please contact your manager or email [email protected] to identify your MARAC rep.
