Ryan Wellings sentencing live: Kiena Dawes' abusive partner being sentenced - follow live Judge Robert Altham says

Perpetrators must be recognised as culpable in domestic abuse related suicides - Wellings sentenced to 6 years for coercive control and physical assault - not the death of Kiena.

She literally told the police she was trapped - she deserved more 💔

Thank you for raising this important issue. I was part of the team at Women's Aid that wrote 19 Child Homicides report and so much change is still needed 💔

Suicides after domestic abuse are not rare - they are the 'tip of the iceberg' Campaigners and experts say the links between domestic abuse and suicide are 'undeniable'.

Domestic abuse plays a role in as many as a third of all female suicides, and campaigners are demanding better recognition of the ‘undeniable’ links between them.

Man sentenced as GMP secures biggest penalty in Bury domestic violence pilot scheme Greater Manchester Police (GMP) has secured the biggest penalty so far for the breach of a domestic abuse protection order (DAPO) as part of a pilot…

Just like much of the furore this week, here is an example of a law passed 4 years ago and the Tories did nothing with it. Within months of us being in power we delivered the scheme because we are about actual actions and real outcomes. They talked we walked. www.burytimes.co.uk/news/2484314...

Elon Musk knows ‘absolutely nothing’ about women and girls’ safety, says Jess Phillips Safeguarding minister says billionaire has increased her risk of harm by calling her a ‘rape genocide apologist’ on X

www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Jess Phillips has more care and respect for victims of sexual and domestic abuse in her little finger than Musk has ever had, ever.

Under this barage of abuse she is getting on with her job supporting constituents and victims.

Professor Alexis Jay said that starting a new inquiry could hinder the implementation of the recommendations from her 2022 report. "We have set out what action is required and people should just get on with it," she told the BBC. She added: "I've certainly been very unhappy about the politicisation of child sexual exploitation and child sexual abuse in the way that many people, sometimes in a very uninformed way, have waded into the argument."

Professor Alexis Jay, who led a 7-year review of sexual abuse which reported in 2022, says starting a new inquiry would delay any implementation of her own recommendations:

100% this. Robert Jenrick and others are using the issue to further their own political agenda, not the lives of victims.

Gloucester MP's new bill proposes time off for abuse victims Alex McIntyre is presenting his Bill to MPs for further consideration this week.

MP Alex Mcintyre has a Bill in Parliament today to give paid leave to victim- survivors of domestic abuse - can only be a good thing. It's a Ten Minute Rule Bill so unlikely to pass but good that the issue is being raised www.bbc.com/news/article... #DomesticAbuse
