Appendix B - BCSP VAWG Partnership Action Plan
Below, is an overview of the actions. The Action plan 2024-2028 was developed with a partnership approach in mind. The plan outlines specific activities to be delivered by partners across the statutory and voluntary sectors, supported by a colour-coded monitoring system to track progress and hold each other accountable.
Progress and monitoring of the VAWG Action Plan is reviewed regularly through the VAWG Working Group, which brings together representatives from across the partnership, including community organisations, local services, and the police. The group ensures delivery remains coordinated, transparent, and able to respond quickly to challenges.
