#UK government when will you give NHS proper funding. It is on its knees. Currently in A&E with chest pain, previous heart attack, nearly 4 hours waiting to be triage. Noone offered pain med. This is awful

[Dame Nicole Jacobs @CommissionerDA]

I’ve launched my strategy for 26-29. Guided by what survivors and others have told me, I'll be focusing on specialist services, health, policing and probation.

I’ll use my role to drive accountability and systemic improvement for people experiencing DA.

This is Britain in 2026,
You can report domestic violence, coercive control, and child sexual abuse, provide evidence to the criminal justice system, and still lose your children to the alleged perpetrator through the Family Court.

Imagine being the parent who raised your children, only to spend 8 years in a contact centre, under close supervision, paying to see your own children.

There is a Child Arrangements Order in place, yet when the other parent does not follow it, instead of enforcement, you are given a barring order — twice — preventing you from bringing the issue back to court.

If @Keir_Starmer and @ShabanaMahmood believe the only crisis is in criminal justice, they need to look closely at the Family Court system too.

For many families, the system does not feel protective — it feels punitive.

How can justice exist when safeguarding evidence is ignored, orders are not enforced equally, and children lose safe parents?

We must learn from every life lost to DA. However, the lack of dedicated funding for DHRs risks meaning vital learnings aren't identified and taken forward to protect other victims.

I urge govt to reconsider, and to be braver and bolder in its decisions.

This is important if you have views on Personal Independence Payment and welfare benefits for the sick and disabled you might consider making a contribution.

Survivors shouldn’t have to survive the family courts too.
Jasminder’s story is a devastating reminder that #coercivecontrol doesn’t always end after leaving an abuser; it can continue through the legal system itself.

Episode 1 of Believe Me was an uncomfortable watch.

Sarah did everything asked of her, yet her case was dropped, leaving her attacker free to harm others.

This is something we still see in our wider work.

Believe Me continues tonight on ITV1 & ITVX.

@Blanche1883 I know it is, I'm just hoping that this will highlight it further. Total change needs to happen from police to courts, education, attitudes, sentencing, training! This cannot continue

[Deborah Simpson 💙 @DebeeSimpson]

#believeme I hope EVERY police officer involved in these cases are thoroughly ashamed of themselves and are no longer serving. #believeme victims i am so sorry for what you went through. #webelieveyou

📺 Tonight 9pm on ITV1

Child homicide should never be a side effect of the family court process. Like a Russian roulette, case after case is churned through the system, and every so often, one of them is lethal.

Sadly not a long enough sentence, it should be life. RIP Kol

"I actually felt like I’d faced evil for the first time…”

This man murdered a woman and then killed himself. The police failed her. He had previous, she had left him and still no one saved her from him.

Her name was Jo Shaw https://t.co/ySTusStdxM
