Haraldur L. Haraldsson, Mayor of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, \u00c1rmann Kr. \u00d3lafsson, Mayor of K\u00f3pavogur, Gunnar Einarsson, Mayor of Gar\u00f0ab\u00e6r,\u00a0 and Sigr\u00ed\u00f0ur Bj\u00f6rk Gu\u00f0j\u00f3nsd\u00f3ttir, the Police Commissioner for the Capital Region, today signed a declaration of cooperation on a campaign against domestic violence.\n<\/p>\n
\u00a0The statement means that from Monday, 18 May, local authority social services and the police will adopt new procedures to ensure more targeted responses and resources to tackle domestic violence.<\/p>\n
The aim of the campaign is to send a clear message that domestic violence will not be tolerated. In this way, the police and local authority social services work together to assist families in a targeted manner, ensure the safety of children and provide them with support and guidance. Services for victims of domestic violence are greatly improved, cases are investigated more thoroughly, and information on resources and follow-up support for victims is increased. Perpetrators, meanwhile, receive assistance in the form of counselling and are offered treatment.<\/p>\n
The municipalities of K\u00f3pavogur, Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur and Gar\u00f0ab\u00e6r have had a joint child protection on-call service since January 2014. The on-call service will handle all calls concerning domestic violence, both in families with children and in childless families. \u00a0The police request the involvement of staff. During office hours, social services staff handle calls. Follow-up with the police is handled on a case-by-case basis by each municipality, as is other work with the families.<\/p>\n
Reykjav\u00edk and Mosfellsb\u00e6r have both signed a similar declaration on a campaign against domestic violence.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
