Information for Agencies
The Task Group was set up in 1997 as a forum to promote joint
working amongst statutory and voluntary agencies in Cambridge
and the local area to assist victims of domestic violence. The
current membership includes a wide range of representatives and
individuals. The aims of the Task Group are to co-ordinate a
pro-active response to domestic violence and to carry out specific
pieces of work. Latest report
of the task group.
Membership includes health visitors, midwives, judges, solicitors,
social workers and housing officers, as well as representatives
of statutory and voluntary agencies such as Women's Aid, Victim
and Witness Support, Relate, the Police, Office of Children and
Young Peoples Service, City Councils, and the County Council.

Each year, we hold a FREE Domestic Violence

voluntary, community and independent sectors about Domestic Violence
Issues. See below for more information
