Salford City Council - Record of Decision

I, Paul Dennett, City Mayor and Lead Member for Housing & Anti-Poverty, in exercise of the powers contained within the City Council Constitution, do hereby:

Approve the refresh of Salford’s Annual Domestic Abuse (DA) Support in Safe Accommodation delivery plan for 2026/27

The Reasons are:
In August 2025, City Mayor (in consultation with Cabinet) approved the new Salford Domestic Abuse Support in Safe Accommodation Strategy 2025-28, and along with it the annual delivery plan.

This report sets out a the refresh of the annual DA Support in Safe

Accommodation strategy delivery plan for 2025/26. A review of the 25/26

action plan has been reported/ reviewed separately.

Options considered

Do nothing - this has not been considered. This work is a statutory

requirement.

Assessment of Risk:

Medium - The strategy identifies a number of key priorities and objectives with

key delivery outcomes which will be monitored through the action plan. Risks

in terms of the delivery of the priorities and objectives will be reviewed

annually. It is recognised that there are a number of outcomes which if not

delivered carry risks. Mitigating these risks will be a key part of the action plan

monitoring. However, at the same time the finite staffing/resources

available are noted.

I confirm I have reviewed the report and do not foresee any legal implications for now.
