[Dame Nicole Jacobs @CommissionerDA]

Despite being recognised as victims of DA in their own right, children are not being treated as such.

Glad that govt will strengthen the Victims’ Code for children, inc. delivering my recommendation for a child-specific code so they can understand their rights and get support.

🚨 Important information for victim-survivors

On Sunday 7 September a nationwide test of the UK’s emergency alert service will take place. For 10 seconds, your phone will vibrate and there will be a loud siren sound.

If you have a phone hidden from an abuser, you should turn this alarm off to keep you safe.

To opt out on both iPhone and Android phones:

➡️ Search your settings for ‘emergency alerts’
➡️ Turn off ‘severe alerts’ and ‘extreme alerts’

Emergency Alert day has been confirmed as 7th September. If you have a secret phone for safety go to settings and turn off all government notifications. Setting it to silent or airplane is not enough 🚨 (guidance on each step is on the internet). Spread the word

[1/3] There is an estimated funding gap of £321 million for domestic abuse services. But what does that mean for direct services tackling the national emergency of domestic abuse?
