Surely it's time @RhonddaBryant
commissioned one independent review of what was known about Donaldson, across party, church, Assembly, Westminster and policing? These piecemeal reviews risk missed patterns, retraumatising survivors & delaying change. @CVOCNI @CathalMall
A Sinn Féin MP has written to the Speaker of the House of Commons calling for a full investigation into Jeffrey Donaldson’s time as an MP.

2 weeks delivering training at Melbourne's RCH in a systemic response to harmful sexual behaviour via @AIMProjectUK & @TheCASPR2019.
So encouraging to see trauma-related behaviour met with support, not criminalisation. @sianalliance @LindaDillon81 @naomi_long

Pleased to have contributed to a panel discussion on UTV's Up Close, examining AI & its associated risks.
I spoke to the growing threat of AI-Gen child sexual abuse material & the urgent need for robust oversight & a wider understanding of how offenders are exploiting this tech.

One outcome of this tragedy must be revised public protection arrangements for both IPV & sexual violence, better integrated across agencies & informed by professionals trained to recognise behavioural patterns & their relationship to serious harm. @naomi_long @LindaDillon81

I would encourage everyone to read this review. It should act as a final wake up call. DA here is nurtured by deeply entrenched misogynistic attitudes & victim blaming beliefs & these were reflected in the very institutions designed to protect our most vulnerable @AllisonMorris1

Paul Lusby’s death should be the catalyst for moving from DHR’s to Domestic Abuse Related Death Reviews. His legacy should be a system that listens to those who speak up and recognises that suicides linked to domestic abuse cannot remain invisible. @NualaMcAllister @LindaDillon81
The brother of a man who tried to blow the whistle on killer horse trainer Jonathan Creswell wants his sibling’s apparent suicide reinvestigated.

🧵in response.
Within this article there is confusion & conflation between rules re participation & welfare principles, which emphasise respect for rights, wishes & feelings, with safeguarding frameworks, which are designed to identify and respond to abuse, risk & harm.

@carlalockhart such a blanket policy of publishing images of all convicted “migrant sex offenders” would undermine effective offender management. It risks vigilantism, public disorder, & exposing victims. Image release should be on a case by case, lawful, necessary & purposeful.
.@carlalockhart highlighting the failure of the PSNI to release a custody image of a Palestinian asylum seeker found guilty of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old in Belfast.

On @BBCNolan this morning regarding the response of the Presbyterian Church to their safeguarding failings. To rebuild trust, an independent, trauma-informed, survivor-led investigation & review of its safeguarding practices & culture with published findings is essential.

Following the report of a serious sexual assault within HMP Magilligan, I spoke to @BBCNolan this morning to discuss how prisons assess and manage risk, the systems designed to prevent such incidents, and the wider challenges in safeguarding people in custody.

Disappointing to see @Justice_NI still referring to ‘young offenders’. Labelling young people as the very thing we want them to move beyond has no place in desistance or strength-based practice. If we believe in rehabilitation, our language should reflect potential, not the past.
Young offenders at Hydebank Wood College are turning to the noble sporting pursuit of chess as a distraction from the isolation of prison life.

Delighted to be back in Melbourne. Over the next 2 weeks we will be rolling out the CASP-R framework beginning with the Gatehouse Centre in the Royal Children’s Hospital before moving to SECASA, the largest sexual assault & family violence service provider across SE Melbourne.

You are. You advocate prison & then disingenuously quote re-offending percentages that proves that prison doesn’t work🤷, whilst at the same time associating it with sexual offences when you should know that reconviction rates for those are 3-5%.

Violence against police is wrong but criminalising children won’t end an intergenerational culture of rioting. “Tough sentences” doesn’t work & never has. Raise the MACR to 14 & apply what works, support not stigma. Don’t condemn children to the futures of those who exploit them.
Mr Kelly called for decisive and tough sentences to be handed down by Magistrates and Judges to assailants. #LetThemProtect @ChiefConPSNI @NIPolicingBoard @mukeshji147 @PoliceServiceNI @Justice_NI
