As a child bereaved by fatal domestic abuse, headlines calling a man who killed three women a “nice guy” and “normal person” have felt personally traumatic.
The media called my father a “gentle man” and “nice chap”, which misrepresented the controlling reality that myself and my family experienced for years. It compounded our trauma.
Reporting like this causes so much damage – both to victims’ families, and to public understandings of coercive control. It has to stop. Now.
We need every single newsroom trained in how to report domestic abuse deaths, and to lobby the regulator for stronger rules. The press has the power to prevent further deaths and save women’s lives.
Please support this crowdfunder I’ve started to support @we_level_up’s crucial work to train journalists in their Dignity For Dead Women guidelines.

Charities play a vital part in delivering all types of public services.
But as inflation has spiralled, government grants and contracts for delivering these services are not covering the true cost.

#Budget2024
Great start to the year - first conference of 2024 and my first in-person presentation in a few years.
Talking about our collaboration with @RuralActionDerb to reduce #digitalExclusion in Derbyshire
Interesting presentation from @CitizensOnline1 about digital inclusion. Key things needed for digital inclusion - motivation, devices, connectivity, skills. Very similar to the considerations for Electronic Assistive Technology. So many reasons to have broad digital awareness.
