LIAPThe Leeds Inter-Agency Project (Women & Violence)was established in 1990 to develop a multi-agency approach to improve the safety of women and their children experiencing violence from men they know.
LIAP has worked in partnership with many Leeds organizations in undertaking innovative projects and the city has become a nationally recognized leader in developing work on violence against women and children.
Particular projects that have attracted national interest include: the Leeds Domestic Violence Court, Leeds Zero Tolerance Campaign, HALT Domestic Violence, LIAP Training, the Health and Social Care Project and work in schools.
Through this strategy LIAP aimed to develop a more consistent and co-ordinated response in Leeds for women and their children who experience violence from men they know.
Many Leeds organisations have received training and developed various aspects of their work to provide more appropriate services to women and children and deal more effectively with perpetrators.
