Duluth Model Version

Hillingdon Borough Council did not have the information requested.

Callum McKechnie

Dear Hillingdon Borough Council,

When social workers (including psychologist teams) at Hillingdon Council Adults, Children and Young People Services etc. are assessing and monitoring allegations of domestic abuse they use what is known as the "Duluth Model", which includes the "Duluth Power and Control Wheel".

Please can you provide all paperwork, guidelines, and framework etc. for the version of this model currently used, including the power and control wheel, and any previous versions from the last decade if held.

Yours faithfully,

Callum McKechnie
