Tai Tarian has signed the ‘Make a Stand’ pledge to take action to support individuals experiencing domestic abuse.

The Make a Stand pledge was created by the Chartered Institute of Housing in partnership with Women’s Aid and the Domestic Abuse Housing Alliance. Its purpose is to encourage housing organisations to take action to support individuals experiencing domestic abuse.

Millions of people experience domestic abuse every year and we consider domestic abuse to be unacceptable in all circumstances.

The UK government definition of domestic violence and abuse is any incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive or threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between those aged 16 or over who are or have been intimate partners or family members, regardless of gender or sexuality.

The abuse can encompass, but is not limited to psychological, physical, sexual, financial, emotional.

This can happen to anyone regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnicity or ability and is regardless of income, class or status, immigration status, sexual orientation or heath issues (including pregnancy).

We are committed to ensuring people receive the support they need to address domestic abuse. Where concerns are identified, we will respond appropriately as well as signpost or refer individuals to relevant external support services.
