Ahead of the changes, I hope the judiciary, Cafcass, and everyone involved in the family court system starts to make the shift to better protect women and children who are victims of domestic abuse.

Forced contact with a domestic abuser has never been safe or in the best interests of children.

Finally this nightmare for women is coming to an end.

Huge thanks to the Prime Minister, @alexdaviesjones.bsky.social, @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social, Sarah Sackman, @womensaid.bsky.social, @sheraresearch.bsky.social, @drproudman.bsky.social, and my colleagues @marietidball.bsky.social, Natalie Fleet, and so many more.

This is down to the decades of tireless work of countless survivors of domestic and sexual abuse.

That includes the extraordinary Claire Throssell, whose loss of her sons Paul and Jack 11 years ago was avoidable and the pain she has carried is unimaginable.

Thank you!
