This is an opportunity to use your voice to help shape systems and services for domestic abuse in Hertfordshire. The Hertfordshire Domestic Abuse and Violence Against Women and Girls Partnership are listening and committed to ensuring everyone gets the right help at the right time. 

Survey for Victims and Survivors

The annual survey for victims and survivors of domestic abuse provides a platform for people who have been subjected to domestic abuse to share their views and experiences of systems and services in Hertfordshire in the past 12 months.

Survey for Professionals


We know domestic abuse can have devastating consequences and it can be frustrating when we face barriers that prevent us from helping in the way we want to. The annual domestic abuse workforce survey is an opportunity to use your experience and your voice to help shape systems and services for domestic abuse in Hertfordshire. To tell key decision makers and those in positions of power what is working well and what needs to change. It’s also an opportunity to share and celebrate progress and achievements from the past year.

Key Information
