HCC has just launched a new Beacon Domestic Abuse Support Hub which aims to make it easier for those who need it, to access Community Outreach Services in Hertfordshire.
Members of the public and professionals who are not able to complete a domestic abuse risk assessment themselves, can do this via one access point where assessment and referrals will be completed.
For those who would like more information, we recommend you or a colleague attend one of HCC’s online drop-in sessions which will provide further explanation about how this service will operate and where it fits in with other domestic abuse services in Hertfordshire. They will be able to share a recording of one of the sessions for those who can’t attend, or you are welcome to call or email with any questions.
Drop in sessions:
Wednesday 31st July 12pm-12.30pm Join the meeting now
Thursday 8th August 11am-11.30am Join the meeting now
Monday 9th September 4pm-4.30pm Join the meeting now
Please share the below resources with your staff teams and professional networks. Information about the wider Community Outreach Services and a Hertfordshire Domestic Abuse Services Flow Chart have been attached below for reference. Those who are able to complete a DASH risk assessment can contact COS providers directly with referrals.
