Domestic Abuse Policy

Overview

We are working with local residents to develop our Domestic Abuse Policy.

This policy outlines how Sandwell Council’s Housing service will provide assistance and support to individuals who are experiencing, or at risk of, domestic abuse.

The policy also details how the council, through collaboration with victims and other support agencies, will work to ensure the safety and security of domestic abuse victims and their families, while also taking action to address perpetrators.

Please take the time to read the draft policy before responding.

Comments are invited on the consultation by 21st April 2025. Your responses to the consultation will be anonymous.

It is really important that we have the perspective of as many people as possible who live and work in Sandwell every day when developing the policy. We want to make sure that everyone has had an opportunity to be part of shaping this with us and look forward to hearing from as many of you as possible.
