I couldn't bring myself to watch #Panorama on Wednesday night, but I caught up with the wise words of Mina Smallman on @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social - I remember seeing her at the Women's Aid conference a few years ago - an inspiration.

I'm reflecting on yesterday's launch of @commissionerda.bsky.social 's latest report into the experiences of babies, children and young people affected by #domesticabuse. Everyone in the room was deeply moved by what we heard - we need to ensure the next generation are protected from further harm.

Another year investing in @cipr.co.uk #CPD - third year in a row. One of the main activities I did last year was supporting early-mid career professionals with mentoring, and I aim to do more of the same this coming year!
