We are consulting on a draft Housing Service Domestic Abuse Policy. This is an important consultation, and we want to know any information that can help us improve how we deliver our service. This will help all of those involved find housing security and support.

Your views on the draft Housing Domestic Abuse Policy

The draft Housing Domestic Abuse Policy applies to:

  • all Moray Council tenants living in a property owned by the Housing Service; and
  • any person looking for housing options, homeless or housing information and advice and / or assistance because of domestic abuse.

The draft policy explains how the Housing Service responds to domestic abuse. It:

  • offers a safe and supportive response, which is sensitive to trauma;
  • follows national guidance, meets legal duties and works with partners to protect victims / survivors and support their recovery;
  • sets out the Housing Service’s commitment to treating everyone affected by domestic abuse with fairness and respect. This includes women, children, and people of any sex, gender, or relationship, using an approach that recognises their rights and the different ways abuse can affect them.
  • deals with people who commit domestic violence and live in Moray Council housing; and
  • acts quickly when risks are identified to keep people safe.

You do not need to register with Moray Engage to take part in this survey. If you choose not to register your responses will be completely anonymous.

All responses are confidential.

If you choose to register with Moray Engage we'll collect personal data including your email address and any additional demographic information you choose to provide such as your name, age, gender identity and postcode.
