Specialist Domestic Violence Court
Putting a stop to domestic violence
More victims of domestic violence are receiving better support and care due to the implementation of specialist domestic violence courts in Cheltenham.
This programme promotes a combined approach to tackling domestic violence by the police, crown prosecutors, magistrates, courts and probation, together with specialist support services for victims. Agencies work together to identify, track and risk assess domestic violence cases and better share information so that more offenders are brought to justice, victims are better protected and better supported, and further violence is prevented.
