Just out: UK Parliament research briefing on violence against women and girls in schools & among children & young people. @ruthweir.bsky.social Kimberly Cullen & I all contributed in relation to the work we are doing on teenage relationship violence. post.parliament.uk/research-bri...

Great to have an article on Teenage Relationship Violence in the GDST (The Girls'​ Day School Trust) in the GDST life magazine. Really important to talk about adolescent domestic abuse & the work I'm doing with @ruthweir.bsky.social to review how policing & other agencies deal with it.

Today was our 3rd national roundtable looking at teenage relationship abuse, also known as adolescent domestic abuse. @ruthweir.bsky.social Weir & I talked through our place based round tables & the national police survey I am conducting.

Today I've been up with Northumbria Police hosting another Adolescent Domestic Abuse place based round table with Dr @ruthweir.bsky.social It was particularly poignant to have Micala & Lee Trussler with us, the parents of 15 year old Holly Newton who was horrendously murdered by her boyfriend.

Ever since first studying geography at school I have wanted to visit Giant’s Causeway. Finally I got there today and wasn’t disappointed!

Our final #16DaysofActivism2024 post: VAWG research is vital to providing evidence that ensures the right solution / action is made to tackle this complex issue. Fantastic research is happening & ours is just 1 small part of the huge effort to move towards VAWG eradication.

#16DaysofActivism2024 To protect women in insecure migration status from experiencing violence associated with their migration status, it’s important the reporting of violence does not lead to immigration enforcement consequences for victims globalizationandhealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

with VISION consortium (vision.city.ac.uk) support - Iran-based NGO Mehre Shams Afarid, IKWRO, a team of Iranian animators, Ladan Hashemi and many others produced these short films on domestic violence, including on recognising tech abuse: youtu.be/wtflT6uWlUw

The findings of the YEF survey, shared exclusively with the BBC, shed light on how widespread coercive control and violence is in young people's relationships. www.bbc.com/news/article...

#16DaysofActivism2024: Results from a VISION consultation to ascertain usefulness of a VAWG data dashboard indicated it has practical value as a functional & easy to use tool facilitating access to high quality data spanning a range of types of violence & groups vision.city.ac.uk/news/vawg-da...

VISION works with Changemakers and their participation in our violence-related research is very insightful. Lived Experience is an important component of our project. 👍

If you research data from the Crime Survey for England and Wales, you might want to present it at the Crime Surveys User Conference in March. Always lots of interesting presentations!. #UKDSCrime25

At @VISION to present to the @ChildrensComm our work on Adolescent Domestic Abuse & hear about their work on Children's experiences as victims of sexual harm and intimate relationship abuse. Their recommendations certainly chime with our research. @ruthweir.bsky.social

Less than a week on BlueSky and great to connect with so many old and new friends #skircle

Last week the CPS and National Police Council released a Joint Plan for Domestic Abuse. Lots to welcome in it and considering domestic abuse represents a third of all crime received by the CPS - so important to get it right www.cps.gov.uk/publication/... #DomesticAbuse #CoerciceControl
