Scope
Description
Surrey County Council is planning the recommissioning of Domestic Abuse Safe Accommodation services. This may include changes to our current way in which we deliver services as we want to strengthen the way we ensure survivors, children, and young people, are free from the harm caused by perpetrator behaviour. We would like to invite potential and existing providers to play a key part in shaping our Domestic Abuse services in Surrey.
Surrey County Council is committed to working collaboratively with partners and providers to develop a high-quality Domestic Abuse provision that contributes to improved outcomes for our all that are experiencing domestic abuse. We know that in Surrey our vision is for every adult and child experiencing domestic abuse to be seen, safe and heard but to ensure this happens we are dependent on the contributions of all agencies, partners, and communities working and living in Surrey and this commissioned provision will play a key role in Surrey's wider system.
