Residents in the New Forest are being asked for their views on a new domestic abuse strategy.

New Forest District Council's (NFDC) draft strategy sets out its priorities for tackling the issue from 2025 to 2028.

It includes raising awareness, improving pathways for victims to get support, and providing domestic abuse awareness training for all NFDC staff.

The strategy also focuses on housing support and multi-agency working.

People are invited to give their feedback and suggestions for improvements by August 10.

Councillor Dan Poole, portfolio holder for community, safety, and wellbeing, said: "It’s important we obtain the views of residents and stakeholders on the proposed priorities in tackling domestic abuse and supporting victims-survivors.

"We’re also interested in receiving your suggestions for improvements or additions that will ensure our services meet the needs of our residents affected by domestic abuse."

The strategy builds on existing partnerships including New Forest Domestic Abuse Forum and the Hampshire Domestic Abuse Partnership.
