At Better Lives we offer Safeguarding, Domestic Abuse & Stalking training for professionals, charities & commercial organisations. We also provide an experienced specialist consultation & victim advocacy service. Please get in touch to find out how we can support you.
Question: for victim-survivors of DA now experiencing further ‘legal’ abuse & harassment via the family courts & by proxy through abuser’s legal team over child contact, have agencies (police, social services etc) recognised it or not?
0%Yes, recognised
67%No, seen as ‘acrimony’
33%No, I’m blamed
3 votes • Final results“Breaches of protective orders are not always acted on. In this inspection, we examined 83 cases of breaches of non-molestation orders and restraining orders to see whether there had been any improvement in how forces deal with these types of cases.” 1
So looking forward to the event run by @DrJessTaylor from @Victim_Focus today regarding trauma informed practice! 🙌🏻
