Counter allegations, where both parties allege abuse, present complex challenges for domestic abuse professionals. This 1-day course equips you with the skills and confidence to identify the primary perpetrator, understand perpetrator tactics, and respond effectively.

The Police Reform White Paper sets out the government’s intention to rebuild trust in policing and improve how police respond to harm, including domestic abuse and violence against women and girls.

SafeLives stands ready to work with government, the judiciary, probation and wider criminal justice partners to ensure these reforms deliver genuine safety. Victim‑survivors deserve a system that consistently identifies domestic abuse, reduces risk, and holds perpetrators to account.

SafeLives responds to a new joint inspectorate report, setting out why children must be recognised as victims in their own right and why a whole family approach, specialist support and survivor voice are critical to ending domestic abuse.

SafeLives welcomes the Government’s decision to commission an urgent independent inspection into recruitment and vetting standards at the Metropolitan Police.

Expression of interest / Service Manager

SafeLives welcomes the Government’s new Violence Against Women and Girls strategy and its commitment to halve VAWG within a decade. That ambition is urgently needed. But it will only be realised if action is sustained, joined up across government, and properly resourced.
