| dc.description.notes | General Overview: In this book, UK researchers discuss issues involved in conceptualising and promoting service user participation in the domestic violence sector.<br/ ><br/ >Discussion: Governments are increasingly open to consumer advocacy and user consultation, yet the views of abused women are frequently overlooked in the policy process. The authors of this book argue that the failure to include women in decision-making is directly related to the way we think about domestic violence survivors. They argue that we need to reconceptualise abused women as a user movement, analogous to the disabled people’s or psychiatric survivors’ movements.<br/ ><br/ >Drawing on surveys of agencies and domestic violence forums in the United Kingdom, as well as the views of survivors, they analyse the current role played by women in the policy process and suggest practical ways in which women can be more effectively involved in service planning, provision and delivery. They argue that greater involvement will lead to a sense of empowerment and better safety outcomes for women.<br/ ><br/ >Overall, the book asks three main questions: To what extent are the voices of women service users heard in domestic violence policy development and service delivery and in inter-agency forums? Are services, practice protocols and policies responsive to these voices and informed in any way by service users? To what degree are services actually accountably to domestic violence survivors? The authors warn that unless these questions can be answered positively, services risk doing more harm than good. | en |
