A CCR brings services together to ensure local systems truly keep survivors safe, hold abusers to account and prevent domestic abuse. Standing Together have pioneered the CCR in the UK for over 20 years. Our roots are in the CCR and we know that true change in the response to violence against women and domestic abuse can only be achieved when all the relevant agencies work effectively together. Our aim is to stop survivors falling through gaps by improving responses within and between voluntary and statutory organisations, and ultimately to eradicate domestic abuse. Domestic abuse is a complex social problem that impacts people, communities and services across our society, spanning health, housing, social care, the Criminal Justice System and beyond. Agencies and organisations are often responding to one aspect of the issue and/or the same problem from different angles. These same agencies also have their own, sometimes conflicting processes, responsibilities, and measures of success. Survivors and their children are often caught within these structures, unclear of how to navigate services in order to get the help they need. They may receive conflicting messages and end up being blamed for the abuse perpetrated against them. The CCR enables a whole system response to a whole person. It shifts responsibility for safety away from individual survivors to the community and services existing to support them. Every agency who has a responsibility for dealing with survivors, their children and/or perpetrators, must work effectively within their own agency and with all other agencies who also have that responsibility, to secure the safety of the survivor and their children and hold perpetrators to account. The process by which this work is integrated and managed is known as the CCR. For an in depth look at the CCR read our Report - In Search of Excellence: A refreshed guide to effective domestic abuse partnership work Join the CCR Network The CCR Network is a central hub where we can share best practice, learn, and support each other to develop and deliver our local CCR in a climate of finite resources and expanding need. Learn more Become a CCR Leader The Coordinated Community Response (CCR) Leaders Course aims to increase the skills and expertise of professionals, including statutory commissioners and policy makers, who are responsible for leading and coordinating responses to domestic abuse (DA) and other forms of violence against women and girls (VAWG). Currently, job descriptions and levels of skills and influence differ vastly, and there is no standard training that focuses on strengthening competencies and skills to support the role of DA Strategic Coordination. The CCR Leaders course addresses this gap.
