Provide free, unconditional, legal aid for victims of domestic abuse.
Provide free legal aid for victims of domestic abuse, without conditions. Further support should be provided for those with disabilities or language issues with greater accessibility as a requirement. Many victims rely on evidence from a doctor, which is presently difficult to obtain.
The lockdown caused by coronavirus has highlighted the startling issue of domestic abuse and violence that occurs on a daily basis with helplines reporting up to 50% increase in call volume. The Law Society has called for unconditional legal aid to be provided to victims.
