📢 My analysis today shows nearly 18,000 domestic abuse crimes are missing from police statistics - after police were instructed to count fewer crimes.
Administrative ease must never come before accurate recording of domestic abuse.

Thank you BBC Woman's Hour for having me on. And thank you to the formidable Rape Crisis England & Wales Centre for Women's Justice EVAW Coalition Rights of Women for their year long campaign to keep rape counselling notes confidential. We did it 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Credit also to Ministry of Justice and Alex Chalk KC MP
Great hearing Gabby Bertin on BBC Woman's Hour talking about our #KeepCounsellingConfidential campaign win!
We hope this much-needed change in law will better protect survivors' counselling notes, raising the legal threshold for when survivors’ notes can be requested by the police.
🚨 CAMPAIGN WIN 🚨
After years of campaigning with our sisters Rape Crisis England & Wales, Centre for Women's Justice and Rights of Women, we're thrilled that the government is changing the law to help #KeepCounsellingConfidential and better protect rape survivors' right to privacy! 🧵
