Safeguarding LGBT victims of domestic violence - Find a freedom of information request

Request

1. Does Lincolnshire Council has any specific policy or guidance on safeguarding LGBT victims of domestic violence, that is published and available for social care professionals to access?

I'm only looking for LGBT specific policy, not general domestic violence policy.

Decision

1. Lincolnshire County Council does not have a specific separate policy or guidance on safeguarding LGBT victims of domestic violence, however we do have a joint domestic abuse partnership protocol that has a section on LGBTQ+, there is also a section in the multi-agency domestic abuse training about LGBTQ+ and within the County's Multi agency risk assessment conference (MARAC) operating protocol. All of these documents and training are accessible by social care professionals within the County as well as all other partners.
