Racism and oppression negatively impacts the lived experiences of black and minoritised victims and survivors affected by domestic abuse and sexual violence. Research and statistics illustrate that BMVS are more likely to stay in abusive relationships/situations longer, are more at risk of domestic homicide and more likely to have multiple perpetrators. Concurrently BMVS are less likely to be referred for support by professionals, less likely to have their case sent to CPS, less likely to be referred to MARAC and more likely to face discriminatory responses from professionals.

With past and current events highlighting the ever present threat of racism and xenophobia, there is a local need to develop professional practice at a frontline and managerial level to ensure high risk victims from black and minoritised backgrounds do not face additional barriers and challenges, and that they receive support and services that address there specific needs.

This learning is intended to develop professional practice in order to streamline anti-racist and culturally competent practice within domestic abuse organisations, voluntary organisations and public sector bodies around Cornwall.

Overview of Domestic Abuse Act 2021 – its impact for BMVS.
