520 _a"This report examines the role of informal networks (friends, family, colleagues and neighbours) in minimising domestic abuse. This report argues that to successfully minimise abuse, policy and practice must consider the social context of abusive relationships, to equip and support friends and family who may be aware of abuse. We consider how social and professional networks can help bridge the gap between victims and specialist support. This report draws on new primary data to explore: 1. what barriers prevent victims speaking up about abuse, and how these can be overcome; 2. how we can widen the net of people aware and involved in aiding victims of abuse, whilst ensuring those supporters feel confident and able to engage safely and appropriately; 3. what structures need to be in place to ensure there is emotional and practical specialist support in place following disclosure, both for the victim and supporter."
