As part of the Draft Domestic Abuse Bill AAFDA has received a Home Office Grant with the aim of Increasing the number of bereaved families who receive advocacy support. We will do this by increasing awareness of the importance of advocacy; increasing routes for advocacy to be offered and helping professionals to engage and maintain engagement with families in relation to Domestic Homicide Reviews.

AAFDA are hosting a series of events across the country and we invite you to come and learn about the advocacy service available to families and how you can support families to understand the benefits of AAFDA’s free advocacy service which can be accessed via the National Homicide Service.
