* A broader menu of domestic abuse safe accommodation options, in line with a Whole Housing Approach, should be developed in Sussex. Consideration should be given to ensuring all new accommodation options are appropriate and quality assured.

This service will help meet these aims and targets by providing more safe accommodation spaces that can be accessed by a wider range of customers. Additional information: Full details of the requirements can be found in the tender pack.
