Special thanks to @ksteng12 for being not only a fab player, but also for being an absolute star with the children today 👏👏
Huge thank you to @LFCFoundation @LiverpoolFCW for their kindness today. An incredible example of empowerment demonstrated to those who use our service. Well done to all the team, and the foundation, you are amazing! See you next season!
A councillor all areas should aspire to have. One that understands the origins of abuse and the actual impact. One that embraces survivor experiences. One that understands the best outcomes for survivors is served by independent support. Elected official goals 😍

Whether they know or not. These women put a gentle hand of support on mine & the sectors back this year @centreWJ @Yassica_J @K_IngalaSmith @FarahNazeer @clairethrossell @Teresa_PS @LizzyDobres @Rachel_SUTDA @lucyrosehadley @CountDeadWomen @IsabellaLowLi #InternationalWomensDay
Absolutely.
Responding in the same way and expecting a different outcome, only seeing abuse that is reported to police, not looking at actual need means leaders and decision makers locally and nationally are blind to reality and risk.
I don't use phrases like national emergency lightly
The most frequent reason women are murdered is because #DomesticAbuse. Many people have seen it as an emergency for a long time.
We need action + leadership now across police, Govt + other agencies

Sal Naseem said there were no opportunities to stop Carrick yet to the untrained eye it’s obvious there were MANY opportunities to join up his offending behaviour including not recruiting a bloke with a history of domestic abuse. Also perhaps the 2002 offence was another
"Sickened, appalled, sorry"
Heard it all before, and then before that. The collective groan of the sector/women when same old is said but nothing actually meaningful done. All goes quiet when the News does.
The govt should do something meaningful. But.. news.sky.com/story/metropoli…

Did you see us & @womensaid on ITV news?
Survivors highlighted demand for the service in Knowsley, while staff discussed the struggles of providing a service with a lack of support in the #CostOfLivingCrisis

@Knowsley_Leader @KnowsleyNhoods @MerseysidePCC
Knowing the need is at its greatest-knowing you have to make choices that can lead to increased risk goes completely against why anyone goes into this sector. There is no more time for some. The evidence of need is clear. Who is going to listen? @womensaid @KnowsleyNhoods
❤️ One of our brave survivors got the opportunity to talk about her experiences and the difference having access to a voluntary, specialist DA service, made to her life

CEO of Women’s Aid @FarahNazeer -
‘These services need to remain operational at this point of crisis - & it is a point of crisis’
“Women and children will die and be at risk of harm unless we get this right.”
@RishiSunak immediate intervention is required now #DomesticAbuse
ITV News has learned that domestic abuse services in England are under threat of cuts or even closure.
Figures shared with us by Women's Aid show that two thirds of refuges say they'll have to reduce support for survivors.

Lifesaving domestic abuse services and the amazing women working in them are facing colossal pressure. This piece shows featuring @womensaid research and @Calgrant29 @The1stStep_ shows the danger facing survivors, staff and services because of the cost of living crisis

"I would probably not be here today without the emotional and practical support I received." @TheLiverpoolEC reported about the effects in DA in Knowsley and on our service. Read the article here liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liv…

A second inquest acknowledged that. The family have fought for years to get answers and accountability for the death of their loved one. A real journey for them @centreWJ @louisetickle @YvonneARoberts @AAFDA6 @HWistrich @CommissionerDA

Yesterday we supported inspirational Knowsley survivors of DA to highlight local need and barriers to support and safety on a national platform with ITV @BeccaBarry.
Theirs is the voice that matters.

I could not be prouder than I am of The First Step team today, or the survivors who supported us . Over 17 miles across Knowsley walked since 9.15 this morning #vawg
Our walkers have not long arrived at Huyton @asda the first checkpoint of the walk #16DaysOfActivism #endVAWG
To be invited to Buckingham Palace is an honour, but to share this experience with such inspirational women working to end VAWG, made it all the more special @clairethrossell @Teresa_PS @FarahNazeer @lucyrosehadley @Rachel_SUTDA #VAWG
It was such an amazing experience. Real honour to meet some incredible women and share this very special day ❤
Very special day at Buckingham
Palace with @clairethrossell, @FarahNazeer @Teresa_PS @Calgrant29 @RoshniBham and many other amazing women working to end #VAWG
As a lifelong Knowsley resident, I was extremely proud of what I seen at the Knowsley business awards 2022. Thanks to @KnowsleyChamber for a great evening and thanks to @alisonflea for the great company
Thank you to @KnowsleyChamber for the kind invitation to the Business Awards. What a lot of innovation and talent we have in Knowsley. Lovely to meet @Calgrant29 too

Domestic Abuse victims are taking their own lives. A coroner's court can see the link. When will the government acknowledging this? I used my voice as an MYP to demand action and amplify Phyllis Daly's campaign. @RishiSunak @JusticeGap @Emilytest12 @jamiemroberton @Hopetraining
