Safe Accommodation for Domestic Abuse Survivors with Complex Needs

This is a recommissioning opportunity for support and accommodation services for victims and survivors of domestic violence and abuse, particularly those facing multiple, intersecting disadvantages and marginalization. The service targets individuals and groups who may not fit typical domestic abuse victim profiles and have complex, overlapping needs such as substance misuse, mental health issues, disabilities, or immigration status. Providers should deliver tailored, person-centered support that is inclusive, accessible, and responsive to individual circumstances rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. The service provides first-stage advice and safe accommodation with wrap-around support services. This specification forms the contractual framework for commissioned providers and emphasizes the importance of understanding and addressing the intersecting barriers faced by vulnerable populations experiencing domestic abuse.
