Earlier this week we held our All-Party Parliamentary Group on Perpetrators of Domestic Abuse meeting, chaired by Jess Asato MP.
In this meeting we discussed the issue of children & young people who cause harm to their parents & carers.
The report highlights the deep inequalities in health commissioning & a joint letter to the Secretary of State of Health and Social Care has been signed by organisations across the VAWG sector, mental health & racial justice sectors, setting out the changes needed to respond the reports’ findings.
Respect welcomes @imkaanuk.bsky.social's new campaign, ‘Out of Sight, Out of Mind.’ It calls on the Government to address the inequalities in the commissioning of therapeutic support for Black and minoritised survivors from specialist by and for VAWG services.
