Family Violence Policy

The Provincial Victim Services Program's Policy Statement on Family Violence.

This policy refers specifically to all forms of violence committed by current or former spouses or partners in an intimate relationship, whether they be legally married; living together in a common-law relationship; or dating. This policy and procedure has been developed to support the pro-arrest, pro-charge and pro-prosecution policy set out in the Framework for Action Against Family Violence.
