Cabinet considered a report of the Chief Executive regarding specific concerns and activities related to domestic abuse and violence during the Covid-19 crisis.
With reference to the report, the background and key concerns were outlined. The full picture of the impact on children was not likely to be clear until after lockdown, when it was expected that referrals would increase.
Members welcomed the report, noting the importance of the issue and asking that a further update be presented sooner than six months.
The recommendations in the report were considered and agreed. A decision record is attached to these minutes.
