Nearly 1 in 10 adults experienced domestic abuse in the past year.
These figures are a stark reminder of the scale of this national emergency.
Govt must match its ambition on VAWG with long-term funding for domestic abuse services. ⬇️

We are getting closer and closer to magistrates courts being recorded. This pilot and test is another step forward to transparency and accountability. Thank you @sarahsackman

Intensive Supervision Courts tackle trauma & addiction driving women’s crime
Working well in W Mids & Manchester
Now Labour Government has announced ISCs for Northumbria, Merseyside & W Yorks.
Excellent!
Justice provision specifically for women can work better

Tagging must manage risk and put victims’ safety first.
If bail conditions or tagging conditions are breached, there must be rapid and meaningful consequences.
A tag is only a safeguard if the system acts when it is breached.
‘This is a revolving door, isn’t it?!’
@NickFerrariLBC is staggered by Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley’s claim that the police have to deal with over 100 tag breaches a day.

PETITION created by Victoria Ismail, sister of Joanna Lazaris:
petition.parliament.uk/petit…
"Require that victims are given a trauma-informed specialist advocate, separate from an IDVA or appropriate adult, who will support them in person when: reporting abuse; getting help from mental health services and; navigating the system ensuring their abuse, risk, trauma and safety are understood.
We are concerned that there is a dangerous gap between reporting abuse and receiving effective protection. Trauma responses and mental health can be used against victims. This new specialist advocate could close this gap via trauma-informed specialist advocacy, mandatory review of original allegations after counter allegations are made & joined up mental health and safeguarding responses."
"This is about creating real change for victims of domestic abuse and coercive control, through mandatory, trauma-informed advocacy. I truly believe that if this requirement comes into force, it could save lives.
Please sign the petition and share it. Every signature and every share brings us one step closer to making this a reality."

Tracey Davies was strangled by her husband in her own bed. He has received a 'life' sentence – with a minimum term of just 14 YEARS. Yet for anyone who commits a murder outside the home, having 'taken the weapon to the scene', the starting tariff is 25 years.

This injustice must end.

Govt's early release scheme has caused untold damage to DA victims' confidence in the criminal justice system.
If the PM wants to have difficult conversations about the biggest challenges in our society, criminal justice reform must be high on the agenda.

(2)This may make sense to address prison capacity but it gives 'early' release to those sentenced before the changes, contrary to what their victims were told.
Victims, especially vulnerable Domestic Abuse victims, urgently need the best safety provision & full information.

Part of motion just passed UNANIMOUSLY at Labour Party Conference!! Conference calls for: 'A statutory defence for victims of coercive and controlling behaviour who are compelled to offend by their abuser and a trauma informed approach across the criminal justice system.'

Twenty-six years after Vicky Glass was murdered, her family are still waiting for answers and for justice. Four men have been arrested over the years, but none have been charged, as Cleveland Police continue to investigate her disappearance and death.

What happens when victims of abuse and rape are forced into contact with the person they say abused them?
@Mollie_Malone1 @SkyNews shines a light on the challenges victims face in family courts and how protective parents can be punished for trying to protect their children.
A Sky News investigation into failures in the family courts can reveal how a British woman was jailed after fleeing the country to escape alleged sexual and domestic abuse.

And as the judge sentenced the boy with a three-year restraining order for stabbing the girl multiple times (which he called "a very troubling event"), he said that he did not think the boy was a "danger", and that "He's still young. And he is capable of learning".

For far too long, victims of DA and the services supporting them have been an afterthought for the govt. That must urgently change.
The PM must show leadership on tackling DA and rebuild trust with people impacted by it. Their safety and wellbeing are too important to overlook.

Some genuinely encouraging news in the justice space today. What could specialist rape courts and fixed trial dates mean for survivors? @MYH_ldn takes a closer look ⬇️
Specialist courtrooms and fixed trial dates for rape cases, among other measures, are a welcome step.
For survivors, this is about more than procedure. It’s about reducing the uncertainty and distress of navigating the justice system.

Absolutely right, thank you @AshleyDalton_MP "vulnerable people, women facing domestic abuse, people with learning disabilities who may be coerced...shouldn't we be saying make sure this is safe first?"
The MP for West Lancashire has terminal cancer, here's why she is voting against the Assisted Dying Bill tomorrow:
@AshleyDalton_MP: "To say, 'We can't guarentee decent palliative care, but we can arrange to hasten your death', that's not a choice, that's practically a threat"

In family and criminal courts, victims of can be placed behind screens so they do not have to see the alleged perpetrator. But why should the victim be the one hidden? The shame is not theirs.

Why are women victims of domestic abuse, who have offended when in the grip of their abuser, not being given early prison release, when domestic abuse perpetrators are??
"We really should look at letting some women out."
Dame Vera Baird, Chair of the Criminal Cases Review Commission, says that women should be prioritised in the government's considerations over early prison releases.
