Over the course of the DES funding, the Improvement Service have been working closely with some of the local authorities and partnerships funded thorugh DES to embed Safe & Together to develop a series of case studies showcasing good practice in relation to embedding domestic abuse-informed practice across systems, services and workforces. These case studies showcase a range of work undertaken across the organisations, local authorities and partnerships funded to embed Safe and Together, as well as the impact for staff, services and families experiencing domestic abuse.
Year three implementation case studies
The Implementing Safe & Together in Scotland: Creating Domestic Abuse-Informed Workforces, Services and Systems year three report marked the third in the series of reports highlighting key learning from the work that 12 local authorities/partnerships are progressing to embed the Safe & Together Model across their local areas and organisations. The year three report showcases some of the available evidence of the impact that implementing the Safe & Together Model in Scotland is having on creating domestic abuse-informed workforces, services and systems.
The case studies below were captured from year three and demonstrate how Equally Safe Falkirk has embedded domestic abuse informed practice through the Safe & Together model and the impact that this has had on practitioners delivering and families accessing support.

Following the publication of the Implementing Safe & Together in Scotland Year Two learning report, the Improvement Service worked alongside local areas to produce a series of case studies highlighting the activities, outcomes and experiences of the 12 DES-funded organisations and partnerships throughout Year 2 of embedding the Safe & Together model locally. The case studies are organised based on key activities the areas are focussing on taking forward, however many are taking multiple approaches and will have cross-over with other activities.
