Closed Require coercive control awareness training for some sectors

Closed on

We call upon the UK Government and Parliament to implement requirements for coercive control awareness training for all professionals working in these sectors - healthcare, education, social services and police forces.

Coercive control is a subtle yet damaging form of domestic abuse that can have devastating effects on men women & children. Despite its seriousness, we think many professionals lack the necessary training to identify & respond effectively to coercive control. By ensuring all professionals receive comprehensive training, we think we can create a safer environment for victims, promote early intervention & improve support services. We believe prioritising this training is crucial in breaking the cycle of abuse.
