Link to Screenshot
Paloma’s Domestic Violence software is intended to be simple to use and update. All sections have been designed in a methodical sequence and are linked to one another for easy report generation. The information itself, such as the criteria for drop down lists can be customised to meet the specific needs of your organisation.
