Our new Violence Against Women and Girls, and Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence strategies

Please complete our short survey to give your views on our new Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) and Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (DASV) strategies.

Tackling domestic abuse and sexual abuse/ violence is everybody’s business. Every member of our community deserves to feel safe and free from abuse, violence and fear. By working together, we can prevent individuals from experiencing abuse and/ or engaging in abusive behaviours. 

There has been considerable progress in Cornwall to tackle domestic abuse and, sexual abuse and violence, since the 2019  Ending Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence in Cornwall strategy was launched but there is still a long way to go. That is why we want to hear from you. We want to end domestic abuse and sexual abuse and violence in Cornwall, and we want to hear your views on our new draft strategies that describe how we are tackling domestic abuse and sexual abuse/ violence, and violence against women and girls.

We will review all responses to the surveys and use them to inform the final versions of the strategies.  

How to complete the survey

Please answer as many questions as you can and skip those that you do not wish to answer. Be mindful of your own safety and the safety of others if writing about your own experiences and please do not include names of anyone involved.

This survey will close on 31 January 2023.

How we will use your responses

We will use the information you provide to inform our strategies and our decisions about how we spend funding and design future services.  The results of this survey will be published on the Let’s Talk and Safer Cornwall websites and shared with the Safer Cornwall Partnership. Individuals will not be able to be identified from the results.

We will also be consulting via focus groups with partners and people who have been impacted by VAWG and DASV in Cornwall.
