Our multi layered approach will: 1. Using Rural Friends of Reducing the Risk - engage with volunteers and communities in rural areas to increase their knowledge and awareness of the signs of domestic abuse and where to access support. Develop discrete accessible information that can be made available in locations where victims may go. 2. Offer online training for professionals to raise their awareness of the issue and where to access support. 3 Enable us to sustain the additional IDVA capacity needed to support older victims of domestic abuse within Oxfordshire and stay alongside them as long as is required. For those who accept ongoing support (c 85%) the IDVA will build a relationship of trust and will: o meet the victim in their home, to respond to immediate anxieties and risk assess how best to stay safe o liaise with the police and other agencies to put in place initial safety measures. Where it is not safe to stay in the home, supporting the victim to move and access suitable accommodation. o act as an advocate for the victim at a Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC) o develop safety plans which meet their needs o provide practical help to ensure that all basic needs are met (see case study) o entrusting the IDVA to keep them safe enables victims to let go some fear and anxiety so they can consider options for the future. The IDVA will support them to make independent choices o ensure they have safe accommodation: staying in their own homes if possible and if they wish o work with partner agencies and domestic abuse Champions from services for older people to help them access the resources they need o help them access courts to obtain legal means to restrain the perpetrator if required
