Men and boys matter. The quality and consistency of care they receive matters. Use a specialist agency - because they deserve nothing less. The risk they live with deserves real and measured support because that risk is shared by the Agency once they tell their story @CVOCNI

40% of domestic abuse victims are male… isn’t it about time those at the top had a conversation about this? Ignorance fuels male silence, silence fuels their abuse @andyburnham

New @ONS domestic and partner abuse figures show 40% of victims are male. ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationa… However, given the erasure and lack of narrative about male victims from national organisations, you'd think it was 4%... @CollegeofPolice @npcc @ukhomeoffice @MoJGovUK #Enough

Yesterday we attended a health fair at the @ArmyAirCorps Aviation Centre (AACen) in Middle Wallop, and it was a great opportunity to share with trainees and welfare staff the work we do within our @CovenantTrust funded project.
