It was a privilege to be invited to the Home Office and be involved in this as an advocate for male victims, speaking directly to those Ministers who can push for change...
Survivor voice is at the core of my work.
Last week, survivors shared their experience of navigating DA services and their ideas for change with ministers and my office.
Read my latest blog reflecting on those powerful conversations: domesticabusecommissioner.uk…

Absolutely thrilled and delighted that over 100 male survivors took part in the Our Own Words 2026 Survey.
I’m hoping even more will take part in Our Own Words 2027 Survey.
If you are a male who has experienced domestic abuse, I would encourage you to take part in the anonymous survey by clicking on the link below 👇

Please do take part👇
We are currently 60% of the way to 1,000 responses in Our Own Words 2026 Survey - but only 29 men have taken part so far.
If you are a man who has experienced domestic abuse, whether recently or in the past, your voice matters.
➡️ You won’t be judged
➡️ You won’t be dismissed
➡️ You will be heard
This survey is anonymous and exists to ensure services, policy and support pathways reflect the full reality of domestic abuse, including the experience of men.
If you are male and this resonates, we invite you to take part. And if you support men affected by abuse, please consider sharing.
Because the picture is in complete without you @paullavellefoun @ManKindInit @iamtomskinner @mycwacharity

Really important money and funding but again another government simply cannot bring itself to say "this funding also supports men and boys too". Male victims of domestic abuse continue to be narratively erased. #vawg

*Annual Reminder*
Us British Muslims are NOT offended by Christmas. We don’t want it cancelled. Sing your carols and put up your trees and wish us a happy Christmas too!
Don’t let anybody try to tell you otherwise. It’s just another way to divide us!

Replying to @SchoolsWeek @Ofstednews
Oliver says Ofsted will 'back' schools 'in upholding high standards of behaviour...backing head teachers to enforce rules and routines, because it is neither inclusive nor acceptable to acquiesce to the unacceptable behaviour of one pupil at the expense of the other children'

The war on male identity didn’t start overnight — it was engineered.
If you’ve felt it, here’s why.
High frequency questioning. Interesting...

Why I always have the upmost respect and admiration for our teachers, wherever they are in their journey in the profession: they do what they do from the heart and are trying to fulfil a 'calling'...

The best way to be ready for an exam is to know lots of things, securely. That takes:
1. Calm environment
2. Effective instruction
3. Formative assessment
4. Curricular coherence
5. Retrieval
And all the rest of it. That’s the best of it.
But cramming, while not the recommended strategy by itself, can boost your short term retention right before the match. I can’t knock anyone, or any school that does this *as well* as focussing on 1-5. I did this as a kid. I turned up, listened the first time, made notes, revised them that week, then weeks before the exam…but also cram-sprinted the night before. And that helped.
Good on any school trying to do all of this, and good luck to every student doing anything they can to get ahead.

Adolescence is a 15.
So you want schools putting on cinema sessions after school for year 11/12/13?
Instead of revision sessions for their GCSEs and A Levels?
We need phones banned, not more screen time.
This is pure theatre. 🙄

#Adolescence, a fictional TV series, has prompted a lot of discussion about teenage boys, with a lot of hand-wringing, and various fear-based reactions proposed. I worked with young offenders for over a decade, and my son will soon be 13. Here's what I've found to be true. 1/4
