Description

East Sussex County Council and Health wants to commission a Strategic Partner to provide a safe accommodation service in East Sussex which gives victim/ survivors a strong sense of being in control of their lives, reduces incidents of harm relating to domestic abuse, and which is able to respond flexibly to changing legislation, needs and preferences. The service will support people who are at risk of, or fleeing from, domestic abuse to achieve greater independence, live in good quality, safe, temporary refuge accommodation and provide opportunities to enable their voices to be heard.

Victim/ survivors who use Domestic Abuse Refuge Services in East Sussex will be from all over the UK, with priority given to East Sussex referrals (who may also be from out of county) when a vacancy in a refuge arises.

Full details can be found in the Tender documents.
