Now more than ever, understanding the nuance and patterns of behaviour that perpetrators employ is crucial for professionals #DomesticAbuse #CoerciveControl
Social workers need the skills to provide #DomesticAbuse victims with the right response, every single time. That's why domestic abuse training must be mandatory for social workers, and must include #CoerciveControl There are so many reasons why we need to get this right. 1/2

#ItEndsWithUsMovie has been criticised for its romanticised depiction of #DomesticAbuse. Insidious in nature, perpetrators' behaviour patterns can be hard for victims to identify-raised awareness of different types of abuse is crucial #IMfamilyinjunctions irwinmitchell.com/news-and-i…

Today marks my return to work following my sabbatical - I am very lucky to have been able to pursue my travelling dream this past year. It's been a great day catching up with my #IMfamilyteam colleagues again. I look forward to seeing everyone again in London now that I am back

A privilege to act pro bono for the Mother alongside @1GCFamilyLaw since after the Court of Appeal’s decision in K v K [2022] and obtain this outcome in K v K & Ors [2023] (bailii.org/ew/cases/EWFC/HCJ…). Wonderful work news whilst continuing my career break, even if this post is late!

A necessary shift in focus from the label of 'parental alienation' to the more helpful consideration of 'alienating behaviours' in the Family Court, as PA is increasingly pleaded by abusers in these tragic cases such as these #familylaw #childrenlaw www-bbc-co-uk.cdn.ampproject…

As the holidays can sadly be a source of conflict for many, with issues/ arguments coming to a head in the New Year, @Lawyer_Antonia and I have considered what is key for those on the receiving end of protective order applications in the Family Courts #FamilyLaw #DomesticAbuse
Do you know the importance of receiving the correct #Legal advice when it comes to orders concerning #DomesticAbuse? Our experts @Lawyer_Antonia and @AM_Chawla explain why this is, and outline the next steps to help you move forward. Get the insight: bit.ly/3k4B4Kk

Always brings a smile to read a review like this one and know you’ve been able to reduce the stress of a matter for a client! A really good outcome on this non-molestation order case, and most importantly, one that is best for the children #familylaw #irwinmitchell
