SafeLives welcomes the findings of the Public Accounts Committee’s inquiry into improving family court services for children. For too long, survivors of domestic abuse - both children and adults - have faced a system that is slow, hard to navigate, and often fails to recognise or respond effectively to the risks they face.
No one should die as a result of domestic abuse. Dash was ground-breaking 15 years ago, but it has never had a Government-led review. SafeLives is calling for urgent reform: a survivor co-created, inclusive update of risk pathways backed by training, resources, and multi-agency action. Survivors deserve a system that protects them — adults and children alike.
