Require & fund the assignment of a caseworker to every domestic abuse victim

Victims of domestic abuse are often required to navigate police, courts, housing and family law alone. Many are penalised for not understanding complex legal systems or procedures. A dedicated case worker could provide continuity, guidance and support from first disclosure to case conclusion.

Without consistent guidance, victims of domestic abuse may face confusion, delays and repeated trauma. Many make mistakes simply because they do not understand legal or administrative systems, which can affect safety, housing and child arrangements. A dedicated case worker could reduce harm, improve outcomes, and ensure survivors are supported rather than disadvantaged. We believe protecting victims of domestic abuse from further harm is essential for a fair and safe society.
