Domestic abuse in the Thames Valley is tackled by a partnership-working approach.
The police, courts, Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), prison service, probation, local authorities and other statutory and voluntary organisations work together to combat domestic abuse. There is also a Thames Valley Coordinators Network that discusses issues arising across the Thames Valley, to share best practice and organise and deliver an annual conference.
