<p>All National Health Service staff undertake mandatory safeguarding training which
includes a focus on domestic abuse.</p><p>The Health and Care Act 2022 requires integrated
care boards (ICBs) and their partner trusts to prepare a Joint Forward Plan (JFP).
JFPs must set out how ICBs intend to address the particular needs of victims of abuse;
this includes domestic abuse. The JFP also provides an opportunity for ICBs to demonstrate
how they will work with multi-agency partners, including utilising established relationships
through integrated care partnerships, which include specialist voluntary sector organisations,
to address the needs of victims of abuse.</p>
