Pledge your support for a 'whole-health' approach to the domestic abuse response in London
Survivors say London’s healthcare providers are missing opportunities to get life-saving support to victims of domestic abuse. We are calling for all candidates in the upcoming mayoral and local assembly elections to sign our pledge and help us fight for a ‘whole-health’ approach to the domestic abuse response in London.
This strategy will mean over-stretched healthcare professionals will receive the support they need to adequately help victims, and victims won’t face a postcode lottery when it comes to accessing vital services.
GP and surgery failed to report abuse and involve local services, including social services. Abusive partner found evidence of me trying to get help from social services to leave to protect myself and the children...I feel like I’ve left the relationship - and yet I’m still being abused and I’m not protected by anyone.
