Aims: The forum co-ordinates domestic violence/abuse services in South Gloucestershire. It aims to ensure high quality service provision and to spot and fill gaps in services. The forum does not provide one-to-one advice to people experiencing domestic violence/abuse but can refer people to agencies which can help. The forum produces a range of information including leaflets and booklets for people experiencing domestic violence and those who are helping them. It also provides training for people working with the public who want to find out more about domestic violence. Forum members include the council, police, PCT, NHS Trust, and Women's Aid.
