There is a strong correlation between coercive & controlling behaviour and homicide. This proposed change will recognise the gravity of this form of abuse, which is still often overlooked and poorly understood. #CoerciveControl #DomesticAbuse bbc.co.uk/news/uk-649837…

“There is no safe way of choking anyone. Our necks are too vulnerable” @BichardDr So important to raise awareness of #Strangulation, the risks, the pathways to support, and the training needed for professionals. Proud to be part of Institute For Addressing Strangulation safelives.org.uk/training/non-f…

Yesterday members of our staff had the honour of attending the Institute For Addressing Strangulation Official Launch & Knowledge Event in Manchester. An incredibly insightful & impactful day. There is no safe way to strangle.

An important watch for anyone with a secondary safe phone 📲

Fantastic to see so many Torus staff in attendance at the Domestic Abuse Marketplace yesterday. Thanks to all our local partner agencies and representatives who came along to share what their services can offer & working together to end domestic abuse.

🚨Important information for #DomesticAbuse survivors: A siren-like emergency warning message will be sent by the government to mobile phone users on April 23rd. The #EmergencyAlerts could reveal a secret or secondary phone. Find out from Refuge how to disable the alerts👇

Safe2Speak will be closing today for the Easter break. Our 24hr helpline - 01925 220541, remains accessible over the holiday should you wish or need to seek support, advice and/or guidance. We will be back open from Tuesday 11th April. Wishing everyone a lovely Easter 🪺🐰

Important advice about the #EmergencyAlerts Like always, be secondary phone safe on Sunday April 23rd.

1 in 5 women and 1 in 10 men will experience stalking in their lifetime. It can lead to feelings of depression, anxiety and even post-traumatic stress. If you have been a victim of stalking get in contact with Stalking Helpline UK at 0808 802 0300 #StandingAgainstStalking #NSAW2023

Safe2Speak support victims/survivors of strangulation on a daily basis, it is something we hear more and more of and the long term impacts of this are vital to understand so that we can offer the right advice and support #oneyearon #enddomesticabuse

Safe2Speak support LGBTQI+ victims/survivors of Domestic Abuse & stand in solidarity with anyone from the community that needs specialist support #Pride2023 #SupportforEveryone

We are concerned that Ministry of Justice's proposals to introduce compulsory pre-court mediation & co-parenting programmes threaten its ethos of safety & protection. These proposals threaten survivors' safety, especially those facing additional inequality. More👉 womensaid.org.uk/wp-content/upl…
