It’s so important to me to cover economic abuse - so I was delighted to have the chance to raise it on the World Service. Insights from UK, USA, South Africa and more. Thanks to @nicolajanesharp.bsky.social and all my contributors, especially ‘Mary’ for sharing her experience so frankly.

In a cab on the way back home from the airport and the driver has Magic Xmas on the radio. I guess the countdown is on…

This Sunday (7th September) there will be a nationwide Emergency Alert test at 3pm.

For women experiencing #DomesticAbuse, a hidden phone can be a lifeline. The Emergency alert this week will trigger a loud siren noise, even if your phone is on silent.

Applications open today!

A @churchillfship.bsky.social can help you #ChangeTheWorld My work to transform responses to #EconomicAbuse was inspired by my 2016 travels to the US & Australia. The learning I gained provided the blueprint for setting up @seacharity.bsky.social which now inspires others!

Before the Domestic Abuse Act 2021, the term #EconomicAbuse was not named or defined in legislation.

Four years later, and six in ten women have heard of it.

Having become an official ‘minder’ for a 4.5 mile stretch of the Monarch’s Way earlier in the year, I was excited to see it featured in this month’s edition of Country Walking with a great write up of its history too 👑

I feel like I talk into a void in this space but am left wondering exactly how old @bsky.app thinks I am??

Watched the first 5 minutes of #MasterChef on iPlayer. Lots of presenter airtime - no difference to the editing that I can see.

So delighted to find @lucygobag.bsky.social on here having just listened to her talking to @laurenlaverne.bsky.social on Desert Island Discs. Absolutely fascinating career. Makes me think of the Air India disaster - all disasters - in a whole new light #EthicOfCare

The final report of the Independent Sentencing Review by David Gauke was published on Thursday. Pleased to see:

✅ It recognises that victim-survivors of #EconomicAbuse not only want criminal justice, but also economic justice (referencing research I undertook with Kathryn Royal & Keith Gibson)

Turns out that my 7 year journey as a charity founder was text book. So textbook in fact that I feature as a portrait in Jo Owen’s new handbook for social entrepreneurs which is published today by @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social I can’t recommend it more highly.

After adding new questions about #DomesticAbuse, the Office for National Statistics reports that for the year ending March 2024, the new data suggests that 12% of adults have experienced #EconomicAbuse.
