I have been able to have some detailed and frankly harrowing conversations with men made homeless as result of domestic violence and abuse - but I need a few more!

#WorldAIDSDay is 1 December.

#QueerHistory is incredible, but it is often not recorded/written down, so it will be lost.

Can words offer more than bars?

How do we support victims of crime in getting some semblance of their lives back? What is restorative justice and can it play a part?

There’s often a kind of bloodlust and assumption that victims merely want harsh punishments. But evidence…

The Locked up Living Podcast: Surviving and thriving in prisons and other challenging environments | Belinda Winder. Sexual Offending & the importance of challenging exclusion. on Podbean, check it out! podbean.com/ei/pb-idzhm-14…

This week ⁦Belinda Winder⁩ tells us how othering people for their offences prevents them from making a useful contribution to society - leaving society lacking and damaging the person further on the process. From Wednesday at 6 am on all podcasting platforms.

It’s our online peer support group on Friday - 11:00-13:00. Anyone affected by the arrest of a family member for online CSA offences is welcome. Please message for details.

He's opinionated, funny and knows an awful lot about a lot of things, prison and life sentences especially.

Yep, it's the return of Ben @TheOGBen - RT, follow and show him some love

A guide for social workers responding to families after an arrest for online CSA. Please disseminate and use this whenever you can.

A couple of years ago, it was almost impossible to get any media story about online child sexual abuse to reference the impact on the families of offenders. Just a mention is enough to make me believe that change is going to happen. Thanks Ian Critchley QPM

Today we release 2 powerful conversations focused on abuse within the RC Church and attempts to hold the church to account.

1/ Rafael Viola discusses his treatment at Croome Court and the failings of IICSA, the disappointment & anger

Transcript will be available by the w/e

I'm running one of my social science labs but this time in real life. We'll do a couple of seminars, a PhD planning workshop & there will be lots of chances to talk with others about your research. All are welcome, it's free but booking is essential.

1) Simon Bailey PIER here, discussing the impact of CSAM on the families of those arrested. Wonderful to hear this articulated and we now need change. The warrant is a trauma event; the harms are a VAWG issue; we need specialist advocates to support families.

Ahh it was so lovely to catch up with you in NTU Psychology And our conversation kept me smiling all day 😊 Good luck with this fantastic initiative

Raab has never attended a parole hearing. Blatant interference with the independence of the Board yet again. Time to make the Board a Tribunal in HMCTS.
It’s a Court not the Government’s play thing.
Rate of serious reoffending for those released by Board is less than 0.5%
