Specialist domestic abuse courts (SDACs) have existed in England since approximately 2002, but throughout
their history the defining features of this model have undergone various changes. In this briefing Standing Together Against Domestic Abuse outline the origins of the first SDACs and the initial components they included; the streamlining of
those components from twelve to six; and the introduction of the Domestic Abuse Best Practice Framework (DABPF). Finally, the authors outline how such protocols are vital to ensure accountability and adherence to minimum expected standards. (From the document). Record #8476
