Review family court legal aid for working mothers who've survived domestic abuse
We believe the legal aid means test is outdated, unfair and doesn't reflect the cost of living. We are concerned that women are being trapped in unsafe situations or denied justice as they earn slightly too much on paper. No mother should have to choose between safety and justice due to her salary.
Outlaw both parties from being named publicly in domestic abuse allegations
Pass a law which bans both parties from being publicly named in criminal cases relating to domestic abuse allegations until the defendant is prosecuted and found guilty.
Require family court to refer findings of abuse & coercive control to the police
When the family court makes findings of Emotional Abuse (EA) and/or Coercive Control (CC), but the findings not accepted by perpetrators, these cases should be automatically referred to the police for further investigation. This should not be incumbent upon the victims/survivors.
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.
Introduce an Emergency Legal Protection Certificate for domestic abuse survivors
Fund and provide state-funded legal advice and representation for domestic abuse survivors with verified police evidence via an Emergency Legal Protection Certificate, which will be provided to survivors and allow them to receive immediate protection and support while navigating the legal system.
