Part 2: The Domestic Abuse Commissioner Section 19: Restriction on exercise of functions in individual cases
This section prevents the Commissioner from intervening in individual cases, as their role is not as an individual advocate or to respond to cases but to provide strategic oversight of the national response to domestic abuse and hold public authorities to account. However, subsection (2) makes clear that the Commissioner can still consider individual cases in the course of their work in order to understand the national picture, but should not intervene in such cases.
