The National Rural Crime Network (NRCN) report 2019, Captive and Controlled: Domestic Abuse in Rural Areas, stated that Domestic Abuse in Rural Areas are 'isolated, unsupported and unprotected, service users failed by the system, services and those around them.' It recommends 'rural proofing' commissioning to account for the specific needs of service users and survivors in rural communities. To that end Northumberland County Council are looking to commission a service to raise awareness and provide support in the rural areas of West and North of Northumberland. The successful provider will be expected to offer both face to face and virtual 1:1 sessions and support groups. Also work with other agencies to raise awareness in the communities of domestic abuse and the support available.
