Testimonials

"Going through the DAHA accreditation process has put domestic abuse on the agenda at a top level within St Mungo’s. This has allowed for dedicated resource to support with the process and had meant improvements to multiple systems. For example, we have made changes to our incident reporting process, ensuring that domestic abuse incidents are flagged appropriately and things like DASH RIC and referrals to MARAC are done on a consistent basis. This in turn means better support for clients and improved safety. Although we aren’t DA experts, all staff are now in a better position to recognise and respond to domestic abuse. I recommend all homelessness and supported accommodation organisations look into accreditation. There’s always room for improvement in this space and having the support from the DAHA team cannot be underestimated." - St Mungo's

"Being part of DAHA accreditation pilot for homelessness organisations has been invaluable in assessing, developing and improving our response to domestic abuse at SHP. Undertaking an accreditation process to improve our response to domestic abuse across the whole organisation felt like a daunting task, but DAHA’s framework has provided clarity by breaking down the accreditation. The process has been really collaborative and we have had a lot of support from DAHA as we have navigated our journey over the past year. We have made so many improvements as an organisation already - from introducing a Domestic Abuse organisational lead and a network of Domestic Abuse Partnership Leads, to undertaking focused work on how we can amplify survivors voices in decision making across the organisation. We look forward to continuing our work to ensure that survivors and perpetrators of domestic abuse who use our services get the right response, every time." - SHP

"SSJ has embraced this experience of being a pilot organisation working alongside DAHA to drive best practice in the supported accommodation and homeless sector when responding to domestic abuse. As an organisation, we support and accommodate both survivors and perpetrators and using the structure of the accreditation has really helped us refine our best practice and identify areas of development. We are now in a great position going forwards to ensure our service users and residents receive the best possible response and support to meet their needs." - Society of St James
