Domestic Abuse Commissioner for England & Wales. Champions all victims to bring change. Cannot intervene in cases. Contact via website ⬇️

I have written to @ShabanaMahmood requesting an urgent meeting to discuss the proposed changes to prison recall. No emergency measure to ease the prison overcrowding crisis should come at the expense of domestic abuse victims. 1/2.

The proposed changes to prison recall measures will put lives in danger and must be scrapped. My response 👇

With the government currently reviewing sentencing to help ease prison capacity, I'm deeply concerned that abusers will be released into the community without proper monitoring in place. Ministers must ensure victims do not pay the price for the prison overcrowding crisis.

This funding will bring relief to victims and their children, boosting vital services that support them in their most vulnerable moments. I hope govt's VAWG strategy will build on this to ensure every victim gets what they need, when they need it, so they can recover from abuse.
Every call to a helpline is a cry for safety. @jessphillips visited @RefugeCharity to see first-hand how they support those experiencing abuse. Our new £20 million funding boost will support services like Refuge to reach more victims with the life-saving support they need.

A new report commissioned by my office shows the lack of specialist services for deaf victims of domestic abuse to access when they need help. Marie Vickers from @SignHealth explains why the govt's spending review must urgently fund by-and-for-services👉

Really pleased to see @HSBC are working with @SEAresource to better equip their mortgage advisers to spot signs of economic abuse and support people in need. We now need to see more high streets banks follow suit.
