Even though we have come a long way, large pockets of society still exist where an improved understanding of domestic abuse might make a huge difference. These are the areas where we haven't yet understood how what we do & the way we do it can act as a deterrent, help improve detection & even tackle the problem of domestic abuse. Legislation & the role it has played is a major factor. Is the way the Domestic Abuse Bill is working now, for instance, in any way similar to what we envisaged only a couple of years ago?   For a bird's eye view of these issues & a look at where we are headed, I can think of no better person to speak to than Suzanne Jacob. We each have a role to play. If you can't see how you or what you do fits in, I suggest you listen to this episode. There are victims who have suffered decades of abuse for whom you may be the right person to speak to. Whatever level of understanding you have, there's something in this conversation for you.  About Suzanne Jacob OBE: Suzanne worked for the UK Government on some of its most challenging and high profile crime and security policies, many of which had complex legal and international dimensions. She led a significant part of the security programme for the 2012 Olympics, for which she was awarded an OBE in the New Year's Honours List 2013. She joined UK-wide charity SafeLives in 2015, and became Chief Executive in December 2017.  Find Suzanne on LinkedIn here Find more information about Safe Lives here About Donna Ohdedar: Donna has 16 years public sector experience, including her last role as Head of Law for a leading metropolitan authority.

In this episode of the FLiP podcast, FLiP Director Helen Greenfield, leads a discussion with Chantal Hughes, Chief Executive at The Hampton Trust on the topic of domestic abuse and working with victims and perpetrators. Helen and Chantal cover a wide range of points such as: Who is referred to The Hampton Trust. The interventions offered by The Hampton Trust such as Project CARA. The language surrounding domestic abuse and coercive control. The stigma encompassing domestic abuse. The impacts of abuse on a family, in particular children who as defined by The Domestic Abuse Bill can also be victims of domestic abuse, with reference to the BBC documentary featuring Ian Wright which The Hampton Trust were involved with. Whether victims feel reassured by perpetrator support work and whether it can be said it is a safeguarding system for the victims. About the Speakers The Hampton Trust was founded in 1996 to deliver domestic violence perpetrator programmes within the criminal justice system. They have developed community based interventions for families experiencing domestic abuse alongside providing innovative criminal justice response. Chantal Hughes has been part of The Hampton Trust since 2006 where she joined as the Domestic Abuse Services Manager before progressing to Deputy Chief Executive.  She took a 4-month sabbatical in 2011 to work for a charity providing rehabilitation to street children in one of the largest slums in Africa and remains connected to the work in Kenya. Taking up the role of CEO in 2013, Chantal has led the expansion of a range of domestic abuse and criminal justice interventions.  She remains firmly committed to tackling the root cause of domestic abuse by holding perpetrators to account and ensuring the voice of victims and children are at the forefront of the work. Helen Greenfield advises on all matters relating to family breakdown, divorce and cohabitation. She has a particular interest in helping those who have been affected by domestic abuse. Domestic abuse can include anything from isolating a person from their friends and family, monitoring their time or taking control over aspects of their everyday life (such as where they can go, who they can see, what to wear, their finances or when they can sleep. It can also include threats to hurt, to kill or even physical assault). Helen recognises that the legal implications of domestic abuse are accompanied by a plethora of emotional and other issues, and she aims to ensure that clients are able to work through them with the right advice and support.

On the 29th April 2021, the Domestic Abuse Bill became law. Many called the Bill 'landmark', or 'transformational'. Others called it discriminatory. Why? Because migrant victims with insecure status have ‘no recourse to public funds' - meaning they cannot access refuges, income support and other state benefits to help them escape abusers. Meanwhile, 'hostile environment' legislation is used to threaten them into silence. The result? Many migrant victims of abuse are stuck in a catch-22: stay with their abuser, or face destitution and deportation. The bill's shortcomings have been put to the government. But in 2021, an amendment was rejected that would extend protections to all migrant women. Two years on, Media Storm speaks to survivors of immigration abuse, and those still fighting for legal reform, to see the real-life results of this omission. We are joined in the studio by Janey Starling, award-winning feminist activist, writer and co-director of gender justice organisation Level Up, to discuss what the media can do better when reporting on domestic abuse. Janey spearheaded the UK's first media guidelines on responsibly reporting domestic homicide, which are now backed by all press regulators and multiple newsrooms - find them below!Speakers: Somiya Basar @BasarSomiyaElizabeth Jiménez-Yáñez, Latin American Women's Rights Service @elizajiya @lawrsukNicole Jacobs @CommissionerDADr Hannana Siddiqui, Southall Black Sisters @hannanasiddiqui @SBSistersJaney Starling @janeyjstarling @we_level_up @levelup_ukWith thanks to Heard heard.org.ukIf you are a victim of domestic violence, you can call Refuge for free on 0808 2000 247Sources:Media guidelines for reporting domestic homicide https://www.welevelup.org/active-campaigns/media-guidelines-domestic-abuse/ Safety before Status: The Solutions: https://domesticabusecommissioner.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Safety-before-status-The-Solutions.pdf  UK police referred victims of domestic abuse to immigration authorities https://www.thedetail.tv/articles/uk-police-forces-referred-thousands-of-migrant-victims-of-crime-to-immigration-authoritiesSouthall Black Sisters respond to Domestic Abuse Bill https://southallblacksisters.org.uk/news/the-struggle-continues-sbs-responds-to-gov-rejection-of-amendments-to-protect-migrant-women/ Get in touchFollow us on Twitter http://twitter.com/mediastormpodor Instagram https://www.instagram.com/mediastormpodor Tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@mediastormpodlike us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/MediaStormPodsend us an email mediastormpodcast@gmail.comcheck out our website https://mediastormpodcast.comMusic by Samfire @soundofsamfire. Media Storm is brought to you by the house of The Guilty Feminist and is part of the Acast Creator Network.

In this month's House of Lords podcast we talk to Labour's Angela Smith, Baroness Smith of Basildon and Conservative peer Nicky Morgan, Baroness Morgan of Cotes.First up, we hear from Baroness Morgan about the new Lords committee investigating how we tackle digital fraud, how you can get involved in the committee's work and what former minister Lord Agnew of Oulton told the committee about the government's work on fraud.‘This was chosen as the topic because of the scale of fraud. It now accounts of 42% of all crime against individuals and it's the most commonly experienced crime in England and Wales.' Baroness Morgan of CotesWe also discuss Baroness Morgan's change to the Domestic Abuse Bill to tackle revenge porn, plus what she thinks of the upcoming Online Safety Bill and equality online. We also find out whether it is MPs or members of the Lords who ask the toughest questions to ministers.‘Sadly, I think there is a lot more to be done. I think that our online spaces are still too unfriendly to lots of people, but women included… I still hear too much, 'if you don't like it, then don't participate', well, we don't tell women, we shouldn't tell women not to participate in our public offline spaces so why would we expect women not to participate online?' Baroness Morgan of CotesNext up, we speak to the Leader of the Opposition in the Lords, Baroness Smith of Basildon. She talks about what has changed for women in Parliament since she was elected in 1997 and what she thinks still needs to change for representation.‘The sad thing was how often the press liked talking about what we wore, and if we wore certain kind of nail varnish… There was a lot of interest in that, and some of it wasn't healthy. We were always referred to as the women MPs… Nobody ever uses that awful term now, you're just an MP. And I think that's one of the shifts. No one thinks being a female MP is unusual.' Baroness Smith of BasildonWe also discuss what the role of Leader of the Opposition involves, why it's good to be a bit nervous and discuss some of the famous faces who have visited the Lords, from Harry Styles to Robert Redford and Bradley Whitford.‘I don't think you ever lose the nerves. And I think the day you are never nervous about doing anything is the day you've lost your edge… when there's a really important debate on, statements on the big political issues of the day, there's a nervousness for me, and that's that sort of anticipation that I've got to get this right, people are relying on me.'

“Random angry woman” Fiona Mackenzie was appalled when she saw the ‘rough sex' defence being used in the horrific killing of Natalie Connolly in 2016 – a defence which, in December 2018, saw her killer sentenced to just three years and eight months in prison. And so Fiona did something about it, starting We Can't Consent To This to highlight and then to campaign against men claiming ‘consensual rough sex' as a defence against injuring and killing women. Last year, a new amendment was added to the Domestic Abuse Bill ruling out "consent for sexual gratification" as a defence for causing serious harm to a person. But is it working?In this episode of the Sunday Chops, Mick chats to Fiona about this, about why choking is always dangerous and about how Fiona and her We Can't Consent To This co-founder, Louise Perry, have since further expanded the campaign to fight the normalisation of male violence against women and girls during sex. A heads up, that the topic is – clearly – awful, and Mick and Fiona do go into some detail about the horrific brutality of male violence against women and girls during sex.

In this episode of HJ Talks about Abuse podcast, Alan Collins and Feleena Grosvenor discuss the Domestic Abuse Bill that was passed into law on 29 April 2021. The Act, for the first time, provides a legal definition of domestic abuse. It also provides a number of protections to the millions of people who experience abuse. The Act states that domestic abuse is: 1. Behaviour of a person (“A”) towards another person (“B”) is “domestic abuse” if; (a) A and B are each aged 16 or over and are personally connected to each other, and (b) the behaviour is abusive. 2. Behaviour is “abusive” if it consists of any of the following; (a) physical or sexual abuse; (b) violent or threatening behaviour; (c) controlling or coercive behaviour; (d) economic abuse (see subsection (4)); (e) psychological, emotional or other abuse; and it does not matter whether the behaviour consists of a single incident or a course of conduct. Some monumental measures include that abusers will no longer be allowed to directly cross-examine their victims in the family and civil courts and the extension of the offence of threatening to disclose intimate images. The Act also provides the new offence, as discussed in a previous podcast, of Non-fatal strangulation. Other measures include: Victims will have better access to special measures in the courtroom to help prevent intimidation – such as protective screens and giving evidence via video link. new police powers, including Domestic Abuse Protection Notices extending the controlling or coercive behaviour offence to cover post-separation abuse explicitly recognise children as victims if they see, hear or experience the effects of abuse  establish in law the office of Domestic Abuse Commissioner and set out the Commissioner's functions and powers placing a duty on local authorities in England to provide support to victims of domestic abuse and their children in refuges and other safe accommodation  provide that all eligible homeless victims of domestic abuse automatically have ‘priority need' for homelessness assistance place the guidance supporting the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme (“Clare's law”) on a statutory footing  We encourage anyone who has concerns about sexual abuse, domestic abuse or related matters, to get in touch with Alan Collins at alan.collins@hughjames.com or Feleena Grosvenor at Feleena.grosvenor@hughjames.com.

She started her career at a rape crisis centre whilst at university, and has worked in domestic abuse, on the front line and for charities, for over two decades since.With an estimated 2.3 million adults experiencing domestic abuse over the pandemic last year, and one in five children living with domestic abuse, Nicole's work is more important than ever.  In April, the Domestic Abuse Bill passed through Parliament and is now law. In this episode, Nicole explains what we, as social workers, need to know about the Domestic Abuse Act and how the changes will provide further protection for victims, including children. She tells us about what her roles entails, and shares her vision for the wider changes she hope to bring about as the very first Domestic Abuse Commissioner for England and Wales.

LBC Newshour, What do you make of Boris Johnson's behaviour? & Domestic Abuse Bill gets Royal Assent

ACT's Sarah Goff talks to Jess Phillips MP about the Domestic Abuse Bill.Thanks to years of determination, Jess has finally got the new Domestic Abuse Bill passed. She talks to Sarah about the challenges she's faced along the way, and about the many "names written in invisible ink" throughout the bill.Jess also talks about how lockdown may have made many of us rethink our attitudes towards domestic abuse and safety. It forced many to reflect:  what if I wasn't safe in my own home? What if I was forced to stay in a place where I was at constant risk of abuse?Though there are no doubt some areas where the new bill falls short, Jess talks about the power of data in telling untold stories and in holding the government to account.

In this Special Report (Part 2 of 3), Laura interviews courageous 17-year-old Georgia Gabriel-Hooper, whose mother, Cheryl Gabriel-Hooper was shot dead in front of her by her former partner Andrew Hooper on January 26 2018. We discuss events leading up to the murder and the red flags which include coercive control, isolation, victim’s fear, separation, rejection, escalation, stalking, threats to kill, access to weapons, child abuse, threats to commit suicide, financial abuse, entitlement, misogyny, finality and serial perpetration. We discuss the many opportunities to intervene and prevent Cheryl’s murder. Georgia is campaigning alongside Laura to ensure serial domestic abusers and stalkers are included on the same national register as sex offenders and terrorists. Please support our campaign by sharing this important episode with family, friends and colleagues and amplify our voices.  Please write to your Member of Parliament by April 25 April and ask that they support Motion G1 in the Domestic Abuse Bill.

This episode looks at the recent publication of a government report and open letter to employers calling on them to provide greater support to victims of domestic abuse in the workplace.  This comes shortly after recent guidance has been published by the CIPD and EHRC and also as the Domestic Abuse Bill 2019-2021 progresses through Parliament.  What steps do employers need to take now and in the future to provide a safe workplace for their employees and to avoid the cost of lost productivity and increased absence?

In this episode, Pragna Patel reflects on her work with Southall Black Sisters, which was established in 1979 to meet the needs of Black (Asian and African-Caribbean) women, and aims "to highlight and challenge all forms gender-related violence against women." Pragna joins FiLiA volunteer Sadia Hameed in a conversation that spans her earlier experiences to the present day, including: getting involved with the feminist, anti-racist and anti-fundamentalist struggles (and why they are interlinked), the impact of COVID-19 on black and minority women, and Southall Black Sisters' vital campaign to include migrant women in the Domestic Abuse Bill.

Serenity Rose is heading a London-based survivor-led campaign, together with The Public Interest Law Centre, aimed at receiving justice, social change and acknowledgement of the harms done to women previously denied access to safety when applying for housing assistance after fleeing abuse and violence against women & girls. After the landmark amendment to the Domestic Abuse Bill, women now have a legislative right to help but historical systemic failures to safeguard often hold lifelong repercussions, impacting survivors in ways which have largely been unseen and unheard. Serenity joins FiLiA's Sadia Hameed to discuss her experiences as a survivor, the problems in our systems of misogyny and repeated discrimination against women and girls. Serenity hopes this campaign will create a collective voice of survivors who have previously been silenced, systemically, who basically say the truth of “this is what has been happening to us for all these years. She argues there needs to be a shift socially, and a recognition of that… we need to stand together and very very strongly state: “this was wrong and we want something done about it.”Follow Serenity on TwitterRead Serenity's BlogTake ActionIf you feel you have been wrongly treated by London councils when you most needed help with accessing safe housing please get in touch with Serenity or Helen and Isabella from the Public Interest Law Centre who will provide you with an emphatic ear, guidance and a community of women working towards transcendence of what was wrongly done to us at our most vulnerable; one voice alone is often ignored, many voices together speak truth into change!

Some good stuff DID get done during the chaotic COVID Parliament that's just ended. Walthamstow MP STELLA CREASY tells Ayesha Hazarika about her fight to get misogyny reclassified as a hate crime as part of the Domestic Abuse Bill, why women have been left out of the Government's COVID response… and all the gigs that the Right Honourable Member for Indie Rock missed because of the Pandemic. “The Chancellor hasn't got a Scooby about how COVID affects pregnant women. He started telling me about self-employment instead.”“We're trying to get people back into pubs, but we're not getting three-year olds back into childcare.”“One MP told me not to worry about coming back to work after having a baby because there'll be a nanny. Well there ain't.” Presented by Ayesha Hazarika. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producer Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees.

In this week's episode, we hear from our friend & colleague, Amy Brooker. Amy joins us to explore an important and emotive issue impacting many people's lives in the UK: domestic abuse. During our discussion, we take a deep dive into economic and financial abuse and the adverse consequences of the current Universal Credit system on those being abused. We interview Amy, who penned her dissertation on this subject, as the Domestic Abuse Bill makes its way through the House of Lords. We talk through: definitions, abuse in the LGBTQ+ community, why legislation is important, what's missing and the impacts COVID-19 have had on domestic abuse.

The government's announced that gyms and swimming pools will reopen within weeks, but office blocks around the country remain empty as the coronavirus lockdown limps on. It follows the Chancellor unveiling a discount meal scheme, and help for homebuyers. Our associate editor Julian Glover asks if ministers are doing what's popular instead of making the hard decisions that will restart an economy lumbering towards recession. Also, Labour's Jess Phillips speaks to the Leader podcast about a gap in the new Domestic Abuse Bill. It's being hailed as "landmark legislation" after passing the Commons earlier this week, but Ms Phillips says it doesn't cover migrant victims who are being denied public money and shelter support. She tells us why that's putting people's lives at risk. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Zara is a survivor of childhood sexual exploitation and abuse, trafficking and domestic violence. After experiencing twelve years of systematic sanctioned homelessness she turned her passions towards campaigning for better safeguarding, housing and equality for survivors of abuse. Zara is an advocate for women's independence, freedom and personal empowerment of choice through the means of fundamental rights to safety and exiting from persecution.On this podcast, Zara spoke to Sadia Hameed about her work which was thankfully successful: the APPG amended the Domestic Abuse Bill to include priority need for homeless survivors. On a local level, Brighton & Hove policy was changed to ensure women leaving refuge bypass temporary accommodation and go straight into settled housing. For more background, see this article &. petition about Zara's case.This audio was regretfully very delayed in publication. We hope listeners will find the conversation valuable and support Zara's future important endeavours.
