Consultation has concluded

We are currently working with our partners, service providers and service users to review domestic abuse support services in Hartlepool. If you have experienced domestic abuse we would like to hear from you.

Whether the abuse happened recently or in the past you can help us understand if services provided are helping, what else we could or should be doing, or if there are long-standing issues that we need to prioritise.

We would also like to hear from you even if you did not use our services as this will help us to understand where we are not meeting the needs of the community.
