Urgent review of CPS decision making for domestic abuse and coercive control
We call on the Government to urgently review CPS investigations and charging decisions in domestic abuse and coercive control cases, to ensure the law is being applied correctly and all forms of abuse are taken seriously, not just extreme physical violence.
Review NHS Guidance to Protect Vulnerable Adults in Community Care
We are calling on the Government to review NHS guidance to ensure current practices prevent deaths caused by systemic failures in emergency triage and community healthcare coordination.
Review child maintenance service (CMS) process for accepting reduced payments
Currently, a paying parent can reduce their CMS payments by adding a partner’s child as a “relevant child,” even if that child is not biologically theirs and already receives support from their own parent. We want the Government to review this process.
Review & strengthen DBS checks for risks, create lifetime safeguarding records
I want the Government to review and strengthen DBS checks. Implement national pattern-recognition, improve cross-agency information sharing, create lifetime safeguarding records and automatic alerts to avoid missing repeated allegations or risks when people work with children or vulnerable adults.
Recognise Cultic Abuse in Statutory Safeguarding Guidance
Update statutory safeguarding guidance to explicitly recognise cultic abuse alongside other forms of abuse, with clearer guidance for identification, response and referral across children’s and adults’ safeguarding frameworks.
