In this episode, we talk about domestic abuse and the positive difference housing associations can make.
Helen Greig talks with Guddy Burnett and Alison Inman about DAHA (Domestic Abuse Housing Alliance) and how housing can support survivors and victims of domestic abuse, and Katie Teasdale visits Centre 56 in Liverpool, which provides childcare and support for women and children who have experienced or are at risk of domestic abuse.
Rob and Katie also talk to our Public Affairs Officer, Eve MacMahon, who tells us the three things you need to know about the new Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, James Brokenshire.
