| dc.description.notes | This article reports on a recent addition to the Clearinghouse Good Practice database, which looks at the emerging research on the link between the abuse of women and threats of harm and actual harm to pets. It outlines the ‘Safe Beds for Pets’ program, operated by St George Hospital Domestic Violence Counselling Service. RSPCA provides safe housing for pets belonging to victims of domestic violence. Concern for the family pet is a major reason why women and children delay leaving domestic violence. Research in the USA, Canada and Australia shows that between 20% and 48% of women had delayed leaving a domestic violence situation because of their fear for their pet’s safety. The service agreement between St George Domestic Violence Counselling Service and the NSW RSPCA sets out a pathway for women needing accommodation for their pet. When women and children are referred to the St George Domestic Violence Counselling Service, the assessment includes a question on family pets and abuse. The service can also be accessed by other health and welfare agencies. Training has been provided for RSPCA inspectors, counter staff and veterinarians on responding to domestic violence and its links with animal cruelty. The training was well received. | en |
