Description

The Impact Project ('the Project') is a borough-based partnership designed to improve outcomes for victims of domestic violence and domestic abuse (DVA) going through the criminal justice system.

The Project was developed and established in partnership with the Hammersmith & Fulham Council (H&F), Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), National Probation Service (NPS), HM Court Service, and third sector domestic abuse agencies. Advance, Standing Together Against Domestic Violence and Victim Support.

The work of the Impact Project has focused on improving the progress of cases through the criminal justice system: ensuring efficient and effective justice for offenders and fast, proactive support for victims.

The service is made up of two main facets:

Independent Domestic Violence Advocacy (`IDVA`) support for survivors of DVA thorough the criminal justice system;
Case Progression services to track cases through the criminal justice system to ensure that DVA cases are held promptly, minimising the negative impact of the court process on victims, and reducing the risk of cases failing at court.

Hammersmith & Fulham Council employ and manage a Project Coordinator who is responsible for strategic management and coordination of the Project and of the Steering Group.
