Huge thanks Diverse Matters for leading an inspiring training day to support leaders from 11 of our partner orgs to reflect, reevaluate & progress their #InclusiveLeadership + #Antiracism journeys together. We look forward to sharing our learnings across the wider coalition! 🫶🏼

It was great to attend the @MagsAsso conference last week, where our Head of Criminal Justice Services joined a panel discussion on diverting women away from prison and into community-based services that can provide the support they need.

Following yesterday’s endorsement from the Lords, the firewall amendment will return to the Commons for MPs to reconsider. We urge them to vote in favour. All women affected by domestic abuse, regardless of immigration status, deserve safety & support.

Delighted to speak at The Magistrates' Association
conference, together with Anna Lacey Ministry of Justice, Karen Tipping @NationalProbation, Dali Kaur Advance, Dr Gemma Birkett @CityLondon Uni on how we can keep women out of #court with diversion and out of #prison with vital #community services.

Data from Ministry of Justice show a 10% increase in women in prison & another tragic rise in self-harm. This is unacceptable. Women need support in the community & must be diverted away from prison at every opportunity.

This is unacceptable. The criminal justice system is already failing to respond effectively to domestic abuse and misrepresenting data on these crimes will do nothing to help.

Knowing the facts and reality around domestic abuse is essential to providing safety and justice.

This #StalkingAwarenessWeek , we echo Suzy Lamplugh Trust’s call for agencies across the police, CPS and healthcare to join forces and work together to support victims of stalking. A coordinated community response is the only way to provide safety and justice.
