Data reflections from the domestic abuse portfolio

How can data help us understand domestic abuse, its wider impacts, and the challenges of using evidence to inform policy?

Data reflections from the domestic abuse portfolio

In this Midlands Analyst Network Huddle, Nicola Dennis, Consultant in Public Health, and Sophie Ross, Public Health Practitioner (Analyst), Isle of Wight Council, will reflect on their work within the domestic abuse portfolio and the role that data can play in understanding this complex and sensitive area.

The session will:

• introduce domestic abuse and how it intersects with public health
• reflect on the challenges and barriers of working with domestic abuse data
• explore how analytical work in this area can inform policy and decision-making

This Huddle will offer an opportunity to think about the realities of using data in an area where experiences are often hidden, needs are complex, and the evidence base can be difficult to piece together. It should be particularly relevant to those interested in how analysis can support action across public health, community safety, and wider systems working.

This session will be of interest to:

• analysts in health and care and community safety
• public health professionals
• community safety commissioners
• others interested in the use of data and evidence in this field
