City of York Council are capturing victim voice through several different channels across the city, this being one of them. We are hoping to establish a group of adult victim survivors to gather an in-depth local picture of some key issues within York. Specifically, we are seeking to gain an insight into the journey from the recognition of being in an abusive situation to then telling somebody else about it (disclosure) and then the process of accessing support. We are wanting this information to help us gain a picture of what this journey looks like for an individual so we can embed victim voice into future services, support pathways and support within York.
We would like responses to be representative of the population within York, however we aim to proactively recruit those who are underrepresented and face additional barriers when seeking domestic abuse support.
