Decision details
Places of Safety Domestic Abuse Services Project
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
To strengthen the county refuge provision for
those fleeing domestic abuse following the successful funding bid
for £500,000 to the DCLG by the local authorities in
Gloucestershire. The agreement will facilitate the use of the
funding in financing Greensquare/GDASS to lease 12 two bedroom
properties across Gloucestershire (two properties in each
authority) for the purpose of providing emergency self-contained
places of safety with support from Gloucestershire Domestic Abuse
Support Service (GDASS).
The decision has no financial impact on Tewkesbury Borough Council
as the funding awarded is additional to core budgets and held and
administered from the Forest of Dean District Council.
Decision:
To enter into the Inter Authority Agreement
appointing the Forest of Dean District Council as the Lead
Authority and agree to collaborate in the delivery of services
associated with the Places of Safety Domestic Abuse Services
Project, with the Forest of Dean District Council, Cheltenham
Borough Council, the Council of the City of Gloucester, Cotswold
District Council and Stroud District Council.
Alternative options considered:
None.
