Extracted recommendations

6 recommendations pulled from the report

#	Recommendation	Addressed to
1	A National campaign to highlight familial abuse to both the public and employers. This will inform and educate people across the country about familial abuse and assist them to potentially identify this in others and themselves, leading to obtaining support and safeguarding if required.	National Government
2	Cambridgeshire and Peterborough DASV to hold a promotional campaign for the public and employers to highlight familial abuse and the provisions and pathways available to assist. This will inform and educate those living and working in the area about familial abuse and assist them to potentially identify this in others and themselves, leading to obtaining support and safeguarding if required.	Cambridgeshire and Peterborough DASV
3	Cambridgeshire Public Health to publicise ‘Stop Suicide’ to businesses within their jurisdiction and how to access this. This will both inform and encourage employers within Cambridgeshire to educate themselves in this area as to how they can support their staff and what pathways are available in these circumstances.	Cambridgeshire Public Health
4	The Metropolitan Police, Enfield Borough to dip sample reports dealt with by the Domestic Abuse team for victim contact satisfaction. This will identify whether the Code of Practice for Victims of Crime within this department is being adhered to on a regular basis and if not, then this can be addressed.	Metropolitan Police, Enfield Borough
5	The GP Surgery to implement a process where the opportunity for disclosure of domestic abuse is provided when a patient makes a negative comment in relation to their home or family circumstances. This will ensure that the subject is explored and the opportunity provided whilst in a closed and safe environment with appropriate recording of the conversation thereafter. If domestic abuse is not disclosed, then mental health provisions can still be made available.	The GP Surgery
6	Cambridgeshire Public Health to ensure ongoing suicide prevention activity is adapted to meet the needs of people with autism and learning disabilities, primarily by sharing suicide prevention resources and promote suicide prevention training to key organisations. This provides focussed information and advice specific to an area that has been identified as having a heightened risk and ensures availability to those who require it the most.
