Older Women and Domestic Violence in Scotland

"I was married at sixteen but I met him at fifteen. And from the beginning really – but you don’t see it when you’re in it. From the beginning, the violence and the power – you’re just ruled by fear. Or I was, just by fear. And what he would do to you if you ever left. And I always believed that and you do believe that. . . And for 39 years I got on with it."

Sharing personal information in the context of domestic violence –

‘This guide originates from the Home Office sponsored Crime Reduction Programme (CRP) Violence Against Women Initiative (VAWI). In 2000, 34 multi-agency, victim–focused pilot projects were funded and independently evaluated to identify ‘what works’ to support survivors and tackle domestic violence and rape and sexual assault. Five domestic violence projects from the initiative were selected as case studies. This aimed to explore the issues and barriers surrounding information sharing and to highlight existing good practice. Three Data Protection Officers were interviewed and the Information Commissioner’s Office was also consulted.’
