Domestic Violence Prevention Council

2010-2012 Strategic Plan

The 2010-2012 Strategic Plan on Seattle’s Criminal Justice Response to Domestic Violence, adopted by the Domestic Violence Prevention Council in October 2009, provides a framework for the continuous review and improvement of the City of Seattle's response to domestic violence.

The overarching goals of the plan focus on victim safety, batterer accountability, stakeholder collaboration and prevention efforts. The plan includes five main strategies:

• Provide consistent, quality services to all domestic violence victims
• Provide consistent, quality services and accountability for batterers
• Enhance collaboration and coordination across systems, institutionalizing system improvements
• Participate in regional and state-wide initiatives
• Enhance prevention and awareness-raising efforts about domestic violence

The Seattle Human Services Department will monitor implementation of the plan and provide semi-annual reports regarding progress to the Domestic Violence Prevention Council.
