Congratulations @JoshBabarinde! I know how hard you worked on this. You should be very proud!
Wow.
Today, the new measures that @libdems campaigned for to create a specific category of domestic abuse offender in the law have come into force.
Thank you to all those survivors and charities (and govt) who fought for this change that will keep victims safer for the future.

An estimated 1.5 million men in England and Wales experienced domestic abuse during the year ending March 2025.
Behind every statistic is someone who may feel frightened, isolated or unsure whether they will be believed.
Male victims deserve to be seen, heard and supported.

I dont always agree with Dame Vera Baird, but this am on @BBCr4today she was absolutely right in all she said. Also as Chair of the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), she has led a landmark effort to overturn the criminal convictions of grooming gang victims. Total respect.

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.

Delighted to be reappointed as an Education Minister by @andyburnham to serve in @LucyMPowell’s team.
As the Minister for Children and Families, we’ve made a lot of good stuff happen. In the months and years ahead there’s much more to come.
I’ll keep making everyday count!

Please contact us so that we can support your vision for gold standard Operation Encompass in Thames Valley Police area. [email protected]
Talking safeguarding today with teachers and safeguarding leads from across Oxfordshire.
Last year I launched an education strategy to make sure the support for schools is consistent across Thames Valley. Every secondary school has a named Schools Officer and each primary school has links into their local Neighbourhood Policing Team.
There's a deliberate focus on support and interventions at the transition between primary and secondary schools, with age-appropriate work relating to bullying, anti-social behaviour, knife crime, and exploitation.
There is more work still to do however on Op Encompass - the way police should be sharing important information with schools. As well as making sure the system works as it should, I would like to see the scope of Op Encompass expanded, beyond just what the law requires to provide a gold standard - but it's definitely not there yet!
As a (very new) school governor myself, it was really useful to discuss what's going on in other schools across the county. Although we must also remember that the children in schools are often the easiest to reach. The ones I am most concerned about are those children who are persistently absent or excluded from school, an area I continue to work with local authorities and schools on to try to help improve attendance.

"Violence in the home doesn’t stay behind closed doors: it follows children into classrooms, friendship groups, and online." Exactly why @operationencomp should be in place across all Australia, its simply every child's right and its FREE @CarlEveCrime

Domestic abuse continues to be a problem within our society.
Controlling behaviour can turn a loving relationship into an abusive one.

So important that police forces get @operationencomp right, ALL incidents reported to schools, gets to the school BEFORE the start of the next school day, has VOICE of the Child and CONTEXT in the report...our child victims of DA deserve no less @JoshMacAlister
Today we have published our inspection report on @swpolice’s child protection services.
The force is good at responding to children at risk, but should improve how it assesses and investigates exploitation.

6th Nov 2025, after 15 yrs Operation Encompass was signed into Law-No great fanfare, no handshake with the Prime Minister, no mention at P M Question time. But on this day, albeit quietly, the most important piece of legislation for child victims of DA, O E was signed into law.
When a minister really understands what the last 15 years have been all about: in every force, for every child, no matter wherer they live, Operation Encompass is simply every child's right when they are victims of DA @SouthworthMilly @DrEmmaKatz @BenjaminPerks
Won’t get much attention but this is big news!
Elisabeth & David, founders of @OperationEncomp, came into @educationgovuk ahead of the new duty on police forces to notify schools of domestic abuse incidents.
This power comes into force today.

The new duty will build on the existing voluntary arrangement that the @operationencomp team have built. It will help to keep most vulnerable children safe from the terrible impact of domestic abuse. A small but powerful example of how sorting out data sharing can change lives.
