Confidential reporting mechanism for domestic abuse and family safety concerns
Evaluates the provision of a secure, confidential, and survivor-led reporting system for domestic abuse and family safety. The mechanism prioritizes safety over reconciliation, strictly prohibiting mediation in abuse cases. It ensures confidentiality (sitr) is preserved except where necessary to prevent serious harm or comply with law (e.g., protecting children). Procedures align with Charity Commission safeguarding, Domestic Abuse Act 2021, Working Together (2023), and Care Act duties. By fulfilling the *Amānah* (trust) and *Adl* (justice), the organization builds a safe sanctuary, supports vulnerable individuals, and ensures robust governance through independent oversight.
