Domestic Abuse Court Advocacy in Banff

It has been a pleasure for the DACA Accreditation team to support Grampian Women’s Aid as they develop their Domestic Abuse Court Advocacy service.  The launch of their DACA Service in March 2025 was the first time that domestic abuse court advocacy support became available to women in the North of Scotland. 

Grampian Women’s Aid’s took an incremental approach to the development of their service; they started to provide a service for women with cases progressing through Peterhead Sheriff Court.  From Monday 1^st September, they now offer support for women complainers with cases progressing at Banff Sheriff Court.  This is a great success for the Domestic Abuse Court Advocacy Service, to be able to build on their service so quickly and effectively.  You can read more about the service they provide on their webpage.
