Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Strategy 2023 to 2030

The delivery of this strategy is overseen by the Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Executive Group (DASVEG).

Warning - these webpages contain references and quotes that may be triggering for some people.

This is a multi-agency group. It comprises of representatives from statutory agencies:

  • Torbay Children’s Services
  • Torbay Community Safety Partnership
  • Devon and Cornwall Police

DASVEG also works with the following organisations:

  • Adult Social Care
  • Public Health
  • Education
  • NHS Devon
  • HM Prison and Probation Service
  • Department for Work and Pensions
  • Domestic abuse and sexual violence provider organisations. This includes the Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC)
  • Victim Support. Delivery Partner for the Office of the Devon and Cornwall Police and Crime Commissioner
  • Voluntary sector organisations

The aim is to ensure that we hear from those that have lived through domestic abuse and sexual violence. We can then develop a better way of doing this.

DASVEG also acts as the statutory Local Domestic Abuse Partnership Board. This is for the purposes of the Domestic Abuse Act 2021.
