Prevention
Prevention is a vital priority in addressing domestic and sexual violence in Cardiff. A greater awareness of the causes and consequences of domestic and sexual violence will mean a reduction in cases and earlier interventions.
Key areas of prevention are education, training, public awareness campaigns and perpetrator programmes.

Education and Raising Awareness - This project was set up to provide in depth knowledge of the effects of domestic abuse to service providers. Presentations and training sessions have been delivered to various organisations. As it is felt there is a lot of work to be done in this area to raise awareness not only on domestic abuse but to inform agencies and service providers about the many layers of issues facing BME women and their children when they decide to leave an abusive relationship.
