DAHA Accreditation
We are delighted to announce that we have received the news that following our assessment, South Essex Homes has achieved DAHA Accreditation. This is the UK benchmark for how housing providers should respond to domestic abuse.
Today we received some extremely positive feedback from the Regional DAHA Lead, saying that it was evident with every single person that they spoke to, that we were absolutely committed to tackling this issue together. She reflected that we should be extremely proud of how we are working to embed the highest standards when responding to domestic abuse.
DAHA have also said:
We are delighted to have been able to award South Essex Homes DAHA Accreditation (Foundational) status. Demonstrating excellent partnership working, a deeply embedded believing, caring & compassionate culture & always working to improve & do more.
We saw strong leadership which has been instrumental in the embedding of such a positive survivor-led response. Thank you from the whole DAHA Team here for what you are doing for survivors including children. You are a beacon of good practice in Essex.
Naturally we are delighted to have this affirmation from DAHA but even more importantly for us and our residents, is how undertaking the DAHA accreditation journey has helped us make a difference for people who experience the effects of domestic abuse.
