Closed petition Require police to have training on domestic abuse/post-separation control

Closed on 23 April 2024

Implement a law so that all serving police officers are required to have mandatory domestic abuse and post-separation control training. I am concerned that currently, too many domestic abuse victims are left to suffer and domestic abusers walk around freely.

I'm concerned that too many victims are told by the police that they do not have enough evidence or their abusers' behaviour doesn't constitute an offence. I believe that mandatory training could help the police take reports of domestic abuse and related offences more seriously.
