A blueprint to tackle domestic abuse has been published by the Scottish Conservatives after new statistics revealed that “victims are being left in limbo” when they leave a violent household.
The party has launched a new policy paper alongside freedom of information responses showing that victims of domestic abuse are waiting hundreds of days for permanent accommodation.
An FOI request by Pam Gosal MSP has uncovered that victims of abuse are stuck in temporary accommodation for hundreds of days on average in most Scottish local authority areas.
