This briefing seeks to give an overview of the current landscape of protective orders and learnings that should be considered for the implementation of the new Domestic Abuse Protection Notices and Orders, ahead of their pilots due to start in 2024.
To ensure better protection for victim-survivors of domestic abuse and their children, and to reduce repeat and serial offending by perpetrators, we recommend the development of a new framework for the operation of Domestic Abuse Protection Notices and Orders.
