Policy Work

The Stay Safe East Disability and Domestic Abuse Advisory Group was set up in July 2019 and meets every month. Group members include policymakers, frontline workers, academics and survivors, bringing their expertise and knowledge to discuss violence against Deaf and disabled people and how we can meet the needs of disabled survivors. Further details can be found in our policy report below.
