“𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗵 — 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘅𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗼.” As a child, “Katy” was forced to visit her father in prison after he killed her mother. Years later, she says simply driving down the same roads still brings back the fear. Today on @BBCr4today @BBCWomansHour, her story laid bare the lifelong trauma many children affected by parental domestic homicide are left to carry — often without the protection, understanding, or support they need. A new report is now calling for urgent reform across the UK and Ireland, warning that children’s voices are too often ignored in decisions about contact, care, and recovery after domestic homicide. No child should be forced to carry trauma alone. No child should feel unheard in decisions about their own safety. Thank you to BBC Radio 4 for creating space for this important conversation, with @SarahBurrows100 from Children Heard and Seen and Professor John Devaney discussing why a child-centred, trauma-informed response is urgently needed.
