The brief

Tackling domestic abuse has been a priority for Dorset Council and its partners for many years.

This includes the prevention of abuse, tackling offending and supporting people experiencing domestic abuse, as set out in the Dorset Domestic Abuse Strategy.

Dorset Council has commissioned an Integrated Domestic Abuse Service (IDAS) which includes, community-based outreach support (medium risk), safe accommodation, helpline and recovery and therapeutic support.

IDAS sits alongside a wider system of support, where services are either commissioned by wider partners or delivered through a vibrant Voluntary and Community Sector.
