Survey for Professionals in Lewisham

Closes 8 Aug 2025

Opened 12 Jun 2025

Overview

In November 2021, Lewisham published the Domestic Abuse & Violence Against Women and Girls (DA & VAWG) strategy for 2021-2026. Safer Communities are now planning to publish a new DA & VAWG Strategy in January 2027. To achieve this, a comprehensive review of the current strategy will be completed by January 2026.

As part of this process, we aim to gather valuable insights and opinions from professionals and residents. The information obtained from this survey will help Safer Communities deepen its understanding of the perspectives of individuals who have experienced gender-based violence in the borough. This will facilitate further dialogue and feedback within our communities.

Ending gender-based violence is a responsibility shared by all. Therefore, we encourage as many of our partners as possible to participate in this survey.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask: vawg@lewisham.go.uk.

Your responses will be kept confidential and will only be used to help to improve our DA/VAWG strategy and to better understand participant feedback.
