We welcome the Victims Bill becoming law. However, there is still much more to do to ensure all victims of domestic abuse can access the support they need.

Domestic abuse training for family lawyers empowers family lawyers to take a trauma-informed approach to representing survivors of domestic abuse, understand the dynamics of abuse, recognise the effect of trauma on clients’ presentation, explain the impact of domestic abuse on children and young people, and enable clients to achieve best evidence. Moreover, the course keeps learners up to date with recent statute and case law.

Today the Home Office announced new funding of more than £10 million to organisations providing vital support to children who have survived domestic abuse. This will be rolled out through the 'Children Affected by Domestic Abuse Fund' over 3 years, to 8 organisations, including SafeLives.

SafeLives welcome the introduction of the long-awaited Victims and Prisoners Bill to Parliament today and look forward to engaging with parliamentarians as the Bill progresses. There are measures in this Bill which will improve the experiences of many victims of domestic abuse, but it must go further if it is to truly support all survivors.
