Innovation in safe housing: In Conversation With… our Safe Accommodation Service Manager and Operations Team
Wednesday 16th October, 13:00 –14:00, Zoom (link to follow)
How is physical and emotional safety equally important for survivor recovery? We will deep dive into our Warwickshire Dispersed Accommodation pilot model, examining what ‘dispersed accommodation’ is, how it differs from a traditional refuge and the benefits of support for survivors living in dispersed accommodation.
We will touch upon our progress with the Warwickshire Dispersed Accommodation pilot since the launch in January 2023, our vision for the service and discuss how this project has supported survivors who face additional barriers accessing refuge provisions who, without these vital spaces, may not have been able to flee from abuse safely.
