Enhanced violence against women protocol for the region of peel
This newly Enhanced Violence Against Women Protocol represents an integration of the previous Peel Region Woman Abuse Response Protocol 2006 and the Peel Sexual Assault Emergency Response Protocol 2007. The work to integrate these previous protocols reflects PCAWA’s understanding of the reality that violence exists on a spectrum and women can experience multiple and overlapping forms of violence simultaneously. This resulting protocol harnesses the strength of the community, survivors, skilled professionals and service providers, research institutes and committed organizations and other regional actors to support an improved, collaborative and coordinated response to violence against women in the region.
The Protocol provides agencies with promising practice guidelines in an effort to help them enhance supports and services for women who have experienced violence in the Region of Peel. The ultimate goal is to support member agencies in providing a consistent, supportive and inclusive response to reduce the systemic barriers that exist for survivors of violence in the region.
