We are very grateful to partner up with the Karen Payne from the National Centre for Domestic violence today (Thursday 27th March 2025) to discuss, gain insight and understand how the organization can support victims through the court system.
We had many join us in this online session from a range of organisations across Herefordshire and Worcestershire to understand the civil order and the journey from referral to order served.
We covered the definitions of Domestic Abuse, the Domestic Abuse Act 2021, the role of the NCDV and how they train Police Force and manage referrals, Civil Protective Orders and their benefits for victims, the pathway and timeframes of action by the courts, signposting, referral process and legal aid for the victim.
The session was very informative and supported by a fantastic presenter who gave clear information and guidance on the process for supporting victims of Domestic violence.
If this workshop is something that you feel you could benefit from in the future, or you feel you need our support, then please get in touch to see how we can help out.
