We believe this would help:
Protect survivors and children: Professionals must recognise abuse, especially coercive control, to ensure safety & well-being
Improve justice outcomes: Training helps ensure professionals understand domestic abuse, preventing misuse of the legal system by abusers
Create consistency: Standardised training leads to fairer, safer outcomes in family law cases
Prevent harm: Inadequate training risks re-traumatising victims, unsafe decisions, & misidentifying abusers in cases of manipulation & control
