Violence against Women and Children

Ambulance crews are in a good position to identify people who have suffered violence and abuse and point them towards appropriate services. SECAmb is part of a national taskforce looking at how health services can better care for and support victims of violence. As part of this project, we held three workshops in September and October 2010 where more than one hundred healthcare professionals, social workers, police officers and other professionals working with victims of violence came together with SECAmb staff to think about how the ambulance service can best help. We also conducted surveys with survivors of violence. The final report and appendices, including the recommendations from the workshops, are now available to download. The recommendations will soon be presented to the project team, and learning fed back to the national taskforce and other ambulance services.
