Trees with the sun shining through the branchesThe Kent and Medway Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Executive is a partnership between the Kent Police and Crime Commissioner’s office, Kent Police, Medway Council, Kent County Council, the NHS, Kent Fire and Rescue, the National Probation Service and District Councils. The group works together to meet our shared goals, defined through this strategy, on preventing and responding to domestic abuse.
