The Links Group
The Links Group is an organisation which raises awareness of the link between the abuse of people and animals through support, training and inter-agency working. The Links Group offers training on 'the links', as well as guidance and support to the veterinary sector on identifying and reporting non-accidental injury.
The Links Pet Fostering Group
Dogs Trust is a member of the Links Group, and we are also a founding member of the Links Pet Fostering Group. This is a coalition of specialist domestic abuse pet fostering services, developed to promote service standards and best practice in the operation of pet fostering services for survivors of domestic abuse; to share knowledge and experience within this area and to evidence the impact of pets and domestic abuse.
The current Links Pet Fostering Group members are Cats Protection Lifeline, Endeavour Domestic Abuse Services and Refuge4Pets.
This membership demonstrates our experience, policies and procedures that are essential to safely supporting survivors of domestic abuse.
