Nearly half of the domestic abuse services in Wales services face funding cuts this year.

The Lloyds Bank Foundation, Welsh Women’s Aid, SafeLives, Women’s Aid Federation of England and Imkaan, have developed a toolkit which is to support commissioners responsible for violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence services in Wales.

In line with the changing environment and context in Wales following the introduction of the Violence Against Women and Girls, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (Wales) Act 2015 the guide is to help commissioners in Wales adopt more collaborative approaches, to ensure a full understanding of local needs and the services that can meet those needs.
