The Future of Wolverhampton's Specialist Domestic Abuse Services - Have Your Say

Closes 3 Aug 2025

Opened 3 Jul 2025

Overview

The City of Wolverhampton Council (CWC) is recommissioning domestic abuse support services for the city.

Domestic abuse support services provide victims of domestic abuse with practical help, advice, and guidance. In Wolverhampton, support is available to women, men, and their children who are either living in the community or in accommodation such as a refuge.

The types of support that may be offered can include safe accommodation, support through the criminal justice system, financial, legal, or housing advice, counselling or therapy, and emotional and peer support.

As part of the recommissioning process, the Council is holding a consultation to shape the future of the domestic abuse support services.

Why your views matter

Your views are important to us, and this consultation offers you the opportunity to:

  • Help us develop services that will continue to support victims of domestic abuse effectively.
  • Tell us if our priorities for specialist domestic abuse support services are right for the people of Wolverhampton.

Whether you live or work in the city, have experienced domestic abuse, or know someone who has, we would like to hear from you through an anonymous survey.

We will use your responses and any feedback you share to inform our approach to recommissioning. Where appropriate, some of your answers may be shared with professional partners. However, any personal or identifiable information you share will not be used in this way. Click here to view City of Wolverhampton Council's Privacy notice.

The following survey is made up of 20 questions, although you do not have to answer all of them if you do not want to.

If you have any questions about the survey, or if you would like the survey in an alternative language or format, please use the contact email above.
