We want the Government to mandate accredited training in domestic abuse, coercive control and trauma for all social workers and family-court professionals. We believe national standards must be set to ensure consistent safeguarding and better protection for survivors and children.

Mandate trauma-informed training in justice, healthcare, education & social care
Introduce legislation to require professional bodies to include accredited trauma-informed training as a mandatory requirement for professionals in justice, healthcare, education & social care. Embed into standards, inspections & safeguarding frameworks to ensure consistent understanding of trauma.
Mandatory trauma-informed training and standards in the family courts service
We call on the Government to ensure mandatory trauma-informed training and standards for all professionals whose assessments influence decisions in the family courts, including judges, CAFCASS officers, social workers, and court-instructed medical experts.
Require family judges to complete LGBTQ+ family sensitivity training
Make LGBTQ+ family sensitivity training compulsory for judges before sitting family cases, developed with LGBTQ+ family charities. We believe this could help to address any unconscious bias and protect the rights and welfare of children and parents.
Make it mandatory for every workplace to have a specialist Domestic Abuse Lead
Make it mandatory for every workplace to have a trauma-informed Domestic Abuse Lead responsible for raising awareness, recognising and evaluating risk, offering confidential support, and guiding safe next steps for anyone affected by abuse.
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.
