Asked by:

The Government recognises the importance of a trauma-informed approach across the range of services in health that provide support to victims and survivors of abuse.

Mental health is one of our top priorities and we want to ensure that people can access services according to their clinical need.

All healthcare staff are required to complete training on safeguarding for children and adults to ensure they understand the key principles to identify and support victims of violence and abuse, including stalking.
