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.
We recognise that this is a sensitive subject and that some people who take part in the consultation may be currently in an abusive relationship. As such, we have turned off email acknowledgements so you will not receive a thank you email for taking part; but rest assured all contributions are really appreciated and will help to improve local services. All contributions will be held securely and when we produce our findings report all data will be reported in an anonymous or pseudonymised form so that no individuals can be identified. You can read more about our privacy and data policies using the links at the bottom of the page.
This consultation is open until the 30th November 2024.
