This exciting initiative is part of the Violence Reduction Unit’s strategy for London and is working across London boroughs to rollout the IRIS (https://irisi.org/) programme, a well-evaluated model which brings together primary care and specialist third sector agencies to improve responses to women experiencing current or former domestic abuse.
The model works by providing in-house DVA training to general practice teams and a named advocate to whom patients can be referred for support.
DMSS are the evaluation and learning partner for the 7B programme.
