Advice

Cllr Griffiths introduced the report, shared thanks with Jodie and the officers for the report and was happy to take questions.

Cllr Tindall endorsed Cllr Griffiths comments on the hard work that has been out into this report; as the chair of the Domestic Abuse Forum he said that he would be pushing County to take note of the work that had taken place. He said the more that they could bring this into the light the more they can have an impact on this, as it was one of the most iniquitous crimes in our society.

There were no questions

Recommendation agreed
