THIS CONSULTATION IS NOW CLOSED
Oxfordshire residents, support agencies and community organisations, are being invited to have their say on the draft Oxfordshire Domestic Abuse Safe Accommodation strategy, which sets out how the council, in partnership with members of the Domestic Abuse Strategic Board, will improve the offer of support in safe accommodation over a three-year period.
