Our vision, mission and approach

Our vision

The vision of CAADA is to improve the safety for all survivors of domestic violence, including children.

Our mission

It is our mission to help create a consistent, professional and effective response to all survivors of domestic violence in the UK, and in particular those at high risk of harm. We aim to achieve this through the creation of a strong infrastructure for the advocacy sector in particular and other domestic violence professionals in general. We aim to use the evidence of improved safety outcomes for survivors and their children from this approach to shape the attitudes and skills of those working in the sector, those funding the work and those developing policy in the area to encourage the allocation of resources to this work.

Our approach

• We believe that the best ideas for supporting domestic abuse victims are most often generated by local charities. CAADA ensures that effective ideas are scaled up and shared at a national level, and that local evidence is used to shape national policy and practice.
• Our research shows that no single agency or individual can see the complete picture of a victim’s life, but all may have insights that are crucial to their safety. By enabling agencies to work together, share information and identify and protect the highest risk victims, we believe more lives will be saved.
