If you take one thing from World Suicide Prevention Day today it should be this: if you think someone isn’t OK, ask them about it. You can interrupt someone’s suicidal thoughts. You could even save their life.

Let’s prevent suicide today. Because tomorrow’s too late.

[Dame Nicole Jacobs @CommissionerDA]

Survivors regularly tell me how they have to limit where they go or who they see to avoid their abuser.

Restricting where perps can go is the right step but they must be properly monitored and abusers must face prompt consequences for breaches, so we can keep victims safe.

I welcome today’s announcements on progress to introduce Raneem’s law and pilot the new domestic abuse protection orders.

This is a first step forward in govt's commitment to halve VAWG in a decade, and I look forward to working together to make this ambition a reality. ⬇️

The Baird Inquiry published last week provides more evidence that our criminal justice system must get to grips with #DomesticAbuse @VeraBaird

That's why I've written to govt calling for stronger policing standards and accountability. @ukhomeoffice

Forcing victims and survivors of domestic abuse into debt is a form of coercive control that can have devastating consequences.

Common misconceptions about #DomesticAbuse can be extremely harmful. It takes a great deal of courage to leave an abusive partner, with many practical as well as psychological barriers to overcome. Here's why women can’t “just leave”: https://t.co/6k10Gv1zDY

[Victims’ Commissioner for London @LDNVictimsComm]

Despite more victims coming forward to report domestic abuse, the number of cases that result in a conviction are worryingly low. @AdvanceCharity highlight how essential it is for victims/survivors of DA to be able to access specialist support, and the positive impact it can have

⚠️ Today we launch our new report – #HerStoryHerJustice – which lays bare the failures of the criminal justice system in keeping victims safe and holding perpetrators to account ⚠️

[Dame Nicole Jacobs @CommissionerDA]

Domestic abuse is a devastating and widespread crime, making up 1 in 6 reports to police.

Yet as this report makes clear, victims are still being failed by the criminal justice system.

It’s time govt and policing leaders get to grips with this very serious problem. 👇

[Dame Nicole Jacobs @CommissionerDA]

We must see stronger understanding of the links between domestic abuse and suicide.

In this guest blog for #16Days, researchers @sarahdangar & @jh_rowlands highlight the importance of learning from domestic abuse related suicides through the DHR process.

"We want male victims from minoritised communities to know they will receive culturally competent support from a team that is representative"

Fabulous day reflecting on our safeguarding arrangements- the strength of partnership alongside the value we place on hearing the voice of children and their families and how this shapes our practice 💫
