@RespectUK @Cranstoun_org @itvnews Thanks for sharing @RespectUK 🙏

[Respect @RespectUK]

Great to see one of our members, @Cranstoun_org feature on @itvnews. Their Inspire to Change DAPP helped one couple navigate and understand abuse.

They have helped more than 200 men since 2021, highlighting the need for this type of support.

🧵We’re devastated to see yet another increase in drug deaths for the year of 2023 in England + Wales, with 5,448 people tragically dying. This is the 12th year they have risen in succession. Our deepest thoughts are with those who have lost a loved one

Important and welcome statement from @CommissionerDA on the impact of the racist and Islamophobic riots on victim-survivors of domestic abuse.

Immediate consideration and action is required by the gov to consider how we can better support all those impacted by abuse.

Effective behaviour change programmes are key to tackling domestic abuse.

But according to my mapping report, only 1% of perpetrators received support to prevent abusive behaviour.

I support the #CallforFurtherAction to Government to address these gaps. @Drive_Partners
