I am extremely excited to be delivering the first session of #thePolariProgramme tonight. I am writing and piloting this 12 week #DomesticAbuse #recovery programme for #LGBTQIA + survivors with Switchboard with an aim to publish and launch in 2024

This week is #BiVisibilityWeek . Consider how inclusive your service is for #bisexual service users. Never assume that, for example, a female client presenting with a male partner, is heterosexual. Always ask somebody’s sexual orientation and do not make assumptions #bestpractice

What a pleasure to spend 3 days delivering on #IDVA for SafeLives with Meena Meena Kumari #100Women 👩🏽‍💻. I learn more and more every time we work together #DomesticAbuse #coercivecontrol #harmfulpractices

Day 2 of Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse #DHR chairs training. A hugely impactive and emotive input from a family member’s experience of the process followed by a wealth of helpful tips from Davina James-Hanman #domesticabuse #coercivecontrol #domestichomicide

A great first day of DHR chair training with Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse. Fascinating and impactive input from jo sharpen, Sarah Dangar, Professor Rachel Condry and Frank Mullane. #DomesticAbuse #childrenasvictims #suicide #parricide

Delivery of training has finished until September. I now have a month to work on a new project which will be piloted from September. I’m excited to be writing an #LGBTQIA + #traumainformed #recovery programme for victim/survivors of #domesticabuse

It’s been an incredible start to a new #IDVA course this week delivering for SafeLives. I’ve had the pleasure of 3 days with staff from Victim Support and Galop and amazing input from Amber canham and Meena Kumari #100Women 👩🏽‍💻 #domesticabuse

It’s been an absolute pleasure to spend 5 days with London Victim and Witness Service Victim Support training staff on supporting #malevictims of #domesticabuse before the launch of their Supporting Male Victims Manual. Such a knowledgable, passionate and dedicated staff team

I recently delivered on an IDVA course, one of many with a Deaf learner on.I’ve come to realise it could be so much more accessible for a Deaf or hard of hearing learner if I knew basic #BSL , so I’ve decided to push myself & learn the language #IDVA #domesticabuse #alwayslearning

I’ve decided to up skill and and very excited to undergo the #DHR chair training with Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse in September #DomesticAbuse #domestichomicide

Today is the start of #PrideMonth2023 . We are seeing #LGBTQIA rights rolled back across the world. #Homophobia and #Transphobia is on the increase. Just this week a group of young people thought it was ok to shout homophobic slurs at me whilst I walked my dog #prideisaprotest

Today is #IDAHOBIT , the international day against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. There has been an increase 41% in reports of hate crimes based on sexual orientation and a 56% increase in reports of Transphobia in England and Wales. #LGBTQIA
