Meet the Buyer / Market Engagement Event for Domestic Abuse Support Services in Herefordshire

Herefordshire Council will be running a Market Engagement event for all businesses interested in delivering Domestic Abuse Support Services for Herefordshire Council.
Herefordshire Council has statutory duties under Part 4 of the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 to assess need and secure safe accommodation and associated support for victims and survivors of domestic abuse and their children.
