Housing minister Paul McLennan met Borders Housing Network (BHN) representatives to find out more about the work they are doing in relation to domestic abuse including the challenges they face supporting victims and survivors living in rural communities.
The Borders Housing Network’s chief executives recently restated their commitment to the CIH ‘Make a Stand’ pledge which encourages the social housing sector to develop policies for both staff and customers, appoint a senior leader as the organisation’s domestic abuse champion, and ensure information in relation to support services is available and easily accessible.
