experiencing domestic violence, but works with agencies to:
Continue developing and implementing an inter-
- Promote and maintain co-
operation and joint action. - Increase awareness of domestic violence in the community and all agencies.
- Improve services and responses to all those who have experienced or are experiencing

In pursuit of these aims, the agencies and people in the East Herts & Broxbourne Domestic Violence Forum resolve to:
- Identify and record what resources are available to the East Herts & Broxbourne Domestic Violence Forum.

- Prioritise what resources can realistically be obtained.
- Research how this can be achieved, and create an action plan.
- Make representations to local and national organisations on issues and policies relating
to domestic violence.
