Now more than ever, understanding the nuance and patterns of behaviour that perpetrators employ is crucial for professionals #DomesticAbuse #CoerciveControl

[Dame Nicole Jacobs @CommissionerDA]

Social workers need the skills to provide #DomesticAbuse victims with the right response, every single time.

That's why domestic abuse training must be mandatory for social workers, and must include #CoerciveControl

There are so many reasons why we need to get this right. 1/2

#ItEndsWithUsMovie has been criticised for its romanticised depiction of #DomesticAbuse. Insidious in nature, perpetrators' behaviour patterns can be hard for victims to identify-raised awareness of different types of abuse is crucial #IMfamilyinjunctions

A stark reminder that domestic abuse does not discriminate - high-powered professionals/ those in senior positions are often victims of pernicious patterns of abuse. Encouraging to see raised awareness of the issue #IMfamilylaw #DomesticAbuseAwareness https://t.co/uGwAlS7EoA

Today marks my return to work following my sabbatical - I am very lucky to have been able to pursue my travelling dream this past year. It's been a great day catching up with my #IMfamilyteam colleagues again. I look forward to seeing everyone again in London now that I am back

A privilege to act pro bono for the Mother alongside @1GCFamilyLaw since after the Court of Appeal’s decision in K v K [2022] and obtain this outcome in K v K & Ors [2023] (https://t.co/6fuVkOUomU). Wonderful work news whilst continuing my career break, even if this post is late!

[Annie Chawla @AM_Chawla]

A necessary shift in focus from the label of 'parental alienation' to the more helpful consideration of 'alienating behaviours' in the Family Court, as PA is increasingly pleaded by abusers in these tragic cases such as these #familylaw #childrenlaw https://t.co/aDpm2yihcY
