Slough Borough Council is asking residents in Slough, Berkshire, to share their views on domestic abuse services through a public survey launched in March 2026 to help improve local support.

The council is running the survey to better understand the needs of survivors and improve community safety. There are two versions of the survey available online, with one for individuals and another for professionals who work in the sector.

Specialist support in the area is currently provided by Hestia, which offers outreach help to women, men, and children. The feedback will be used to help the council plan how it provides these services in the future.

This consultation takes place as the local authority undergoes a new external review of its operations. This review was announced on 5 March 2026 by the UK government alongside a new report on the council progress.
