The Domestic Violence and Abuse Voices Project is part of the LDVS service and is commissioned by Leeds City Council. The project works to engage victim-survivors in decision making within domestic abuse services.
The Voices Project is for victim-survivors who are no longer in a domestic abuse environment. It works with participants in various ways, including groups, workshops with key decision makers, or 1-1 with their support workers.
The Voices Project has four dedicated teams to engage with women, men, children and the LGBT+ communities. Working with these groups enables a clear understanding of the different challenges that different people face and the insights gained are then used to improve and shape services. This helps victim-survivors feel empowered, listened to and part of real change for the future.
This video features the voice of a participant from the women’s groups providing tips for staff working with victim-survivors of domestic abuse. The advice is based on real experiences and insights gained from victim-survivors across the Voices Project groups.
