Supporting disabled women who have experienced violence and abuse

A Refuge for All is a project led by disabled women with experience of violence and abuse, from Shaping Our Lives, our partners in the Health and Wellbeing Alliance.

This Findings Report and the Best Practice Toolkit provide a user-led approach to improving access for disabled women for service providers who want to achieve a high standard of service delivery for disabled women.

Although this report and the best practice toolkit have been produced specifically for services working in the violence and abuse sector, the self- assessment templates could be used to make changes to other services that work with disabled people. An advisory group of disabled women have reviewed the progress of the project at regular intervals.
