Our Authentic Voice (AV) project is transforming Hampshire’s response to domestic abuse by ensuring survivor voices are at the centre of local policies and services.
Commissioned by Hampshire County Council, on behalf of the Hampshire Domestic Abuse Partnership (HDAP) Board, this two-year project will ensure local organisations and survivors are at the heart of tackling domestic abuse by supporting them to share lived experience and develop best practice.
Importantly, the project will also create a safe and sustainable approach to hearing from children and young people in Hampshire. The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 recognises children as victims in their own right, and as part of a whole family approach to domestic abuse, we will ensure that local responses also embed the experiences and insight of children and young people whose needs are often overlooked.
