Dear Mr Wiffen,
Carrick DC do not directly fund any perpetrator programmes.
The Community Safety Service at the Council have a training budget
of approximately £5,000 set aside which it is intended to use
to train relevant staff to provide support and information regarding
Domestic Violence.
Whilst there is no specific Policy in place yet the Council, as an
employer, are aiming to recommend the policy which will allow this
training to take place to the Personnel Committee which is due to
meet in March 2007.
It is proposed that the Council will have just one policy for both
male and female perpetrators of domestic violence. It is intended
to expand this to include anger management generally (for both sexes).
Yours Sincerely,
Mark Andrews
Solicitor
