The code of practice on domestic violence was developed and adopted by projects funded by my Department under the community development programme. It emerged from the experience of projects in dealing with the issue of domestic violence. The code of practice has also been adopted for use by Family Resource Centres funded by the Family Support Agency. The code of practice provides a framework, through practical actions and responses, for projects to help address the issue of domestic violence in their communities.
