@apetitouk have sent my mum a bill for over £1k following the loss of bank details due to a huge cyber attack. They never told her that her direct debit stopped, or her bank details were missing and she had no idea. She is devastated - come on @apetitouk - you need to do better

[YOU @theyoutrust]

Day 2 of our 2022 YOU Conference was full of celebrations. We celebrated the work everyone has put in over the past three years and acknowledged the trying times we were all faced with. Well done to every one of you for your brilliance!

@DrJessTaylor Great news, what an absolute rotten time for you. your book remains required reading for our DVA team, thank you for writing it.

[Tonia @ToniaRedvers]

Thrilled that our Dragonfly team have trained @wepbasingstoke - what an absolute pleasure 👌🏼

[PARAGON @YouParagon]

We've had a huge surge in interest in our Dragonfly Workshops, which means that many people are coming forward to help those experiencing domestic abuse. Recently @wepbasingstoke become Champions too! Congratulations! Watch more here https://t.co/YQGYgrVzaa

[Standing Together @STagainstDA_]

Most frequent themes across all DHRs:

⯁ Lack of awareness
⯁ Lack of information sharing
⯁ Missed opportunities to ask about victim’s relationships
⯁ Lack of consistent DASH risk assessments carried out
⯁ Lack of focus on perpetrators & risk they pose to others

@bielec_katie @BickhamVivien Ha ha, had not counted, but it’s not long now 😂😂

[Tonia @ToniaRedvers]

@bowelbabe Have only recently caught up with your story and your achievements, sorry to hear this and I wish you strength, love and laughter xxx

[Tonia @ToniaRedvers]

This is excellent, so easy to do. We’ve had a single woman pretend to know us and walk with us as she was being followed, he stopped and walked off, single women sharing a table in a pub as they felt vulnerable. We shouldn’t need to do this, but we do.

[Laura Maria Motta @guttersniper]

Was at a bar alone yesterday when the bartender said, “Hey, check out this text from my sister!” He showed me his phone and it said, “Do not, under any circumstances, get into a conversation with the guy sitting on your right.” Men, if you are in a position to do this, DO THIS.

[Tonia @ToniaRedvers]

@Joanne10904731 @topgirls A great part of training is discussion, learning from each other and then continuing those discussions post training with colleagues. Confidentiality and pro-social commenting in the session is a separate topic. Well done for exploring the topics in the session

[Tonia @ToniaRedvers]

@DrJessTaylor Oh my, this is horrendous. This book is required reading for our team, it’s not an easy read and provokes thought and comments, as it should - such a shame this is happening. I hope it resolves soon.

[Tonia @ToniaRedvers]

@MrsNJGiles @YouParagon Aw that is great to hear. They were great too, wonderful team you have. Thank you for passing on their feedback. Xx

[Tonia @ToniaRedvers]

@MrsNJGiles Brilliant 😂😂

[Tonia @ToniaRedvers]

@GudrunBurnet @STagainstDA_ Oh my Guddy, you and @STagainstDA_ shine brightly, sad you are leaving and best of wishes for your future. Am excited to hear what you’ll be doing next x

[Tonia @ToniaRedvers]

@STagainstDA_ @GudrunBurnet Welcome Andrea, best wishes in joining the wonderful @STagainstDA_ team

[Tonia @ToniaRedvers]

I love how Sharron always makes a very clear point

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

Sport is exclusionary by definition to create fair play. 15 yr olds don’t get to race with the 10yr olds. Several classifications in Para sport. Weight categories in boxing for example. This IS exactly why Women’s sport exists. To give the female sex a sporting opportunity.

[Tonia @ToniaRedvers]

@DrJessTaylor @Jaimi_Shrive @MandyShrive @Victim_Focus @TBP_agency @LittleBrownUK Congratulations, your books and those of @JMoncktonSmith need to be compulsory reading for many on the front line. Thank you for keeping it real and informative, and sorry the negative crew are commenting already 🤦🏽‍♀️

[Tonia @ToniaRedvers]

So true 🤦🏽‍♀️
