Wakefield has a strong history of partnership working in this area and the Wakefield Domestic Abuse Strategy however there is still more that can be done to prevent domestic abuse, improve the support and protection for victims and their children, and bring perpetrators to justice.

The proposed model will include: • Single Point of Access • Crisis Support • Perpetrators Disruption and Support • Community Support: Support, Recovery and confidence building • Specialist work with Children and Young People • Safe Accommodation The Council intends to meet with around 6 potential service providers. We encourage a range of providers from large corporate organisations to smaller local VCSEs and SMEs to express interest in attending the soft market engagement. The Council will have discretion as to which providers are selected to take part to ensure we have a good breadth of market representation and experience. Face-to-face (in person in Wakefield or by teams) meetings will be scheduled for 60 minutes per provider and will be held on 18th, 19th and 20th September 2024. We would require a maximum of 2 representatives per provider to attend the engagement.
