#Survivor#DomesticAbuseSupport
@BarnettAdrienne@LaraFeigel@Right2Equality Thank you @LaraFeigel for all you are doing to bring this to light. You and I have seen first hand how unjust and traumatic these court proceedings can be, change is needed.
This is a legal blog about a family court case reported so well by @LaraFeigel for @Right2Equality It portrays beautifully and sensitively the huge human cost of the proceedings for survivors and the implications of the proceedings for both parents and children. It exposes the harsh process and the unrealistic world created by the adversarial system and why we need the trauma-informed, inquisitorial model recommended by the Harm Panel and currently being trialed by the Pathfinder Pilots.
This was a mother explaining about the fear & scrutiny of court,
Her ex is coercive, now she’s trapped because of him.
This system sucks- coercive control is not understood.

This is great news- at long last victims might finally be in with a chance of getting an appropriate response from police now.
Thank you @jessphillips for taking action when we have been waiting years for these measures to be brought in.

Domestic abuse specialists will be introduced in 999 control rooms under a new trial to stop emergency services missing opportunities to save women’s lives.
Such an important issue- separation doesn’t stop abuse.
This goes on for years and it’s exhausting.
You can’t heal effectively while you’re having to deal with daily abuse and see/hear your abuser.
Thank you all for your support today in launching the 1st ever Post Separation Abuse Awareness Week #PSAAW 🎗
We are truly grateful 🙏
We are releasing our awareness video 📹 with a trigger warning ⚠️ which highlights the reality...

50 women have been killed in the UK this year, allegedly all by men — the charities working to combat violence against women and girls aren’t surprised. 😞
Great to see @marieclaire@MischaAnouk@TheDashCharity raising awareness of this.

This is a very accurate description of post-separation economic abuse- I hear about all of these behaviours regularly from clients being actively blocked, coerced and controlled financially.
Resharing this fantastic resource for professionals working in #domesticabuse#socialcare#education#policing (the list goes on!), to understand and recognise Post Separation Coercive and Controlling behaviour. Thankyou @jennski_27 @UofGlasgow for your incredible research 🙌🏼
@BarnettAdrienne I would say this ‘beggars belief’ but unfortunately I’m not surprised- the children’s and victim’s rights are routinely overlooked in favour of the perpetrator’s rights. 😡
What about the unfairness when abusive exes take children out of school for holidays without the consent of the other parent? It’s unfair to fine a parent who has no control over their exes behaviour.
@bphillipsonMP
Don’t move to another country or even another part of the UK to start your family without really really thinking it through- because if that relationship goes wrong, chances are you will be trapped and unable to return home.

This is appalling- those in positions where they are making decisions about the safety & welfare of children have woefully inadequate training.
I hear the impact of this every day and it’s heartbreaking. 💔
Please @nicolejacobsST help.
These findings underscore the urgent need for a systemic overhaul in how #DomesticAbuse is understood and addressed within Children’s Social Care.
CSC is a hugely important part of the picture when addressing domestic abuse in families, yet training remains lacking.
[Thread]🧵👇
Too many women are unable to access legal help to protect them & housing to help them leave.
Too many are forced to continue living with their abuser whilst separating- this is like waiting for a bomb to go off.
Urgent change is needed b4 more lives are lost.
