We're pleased to support this campaign. Everyone coming into contact with people experiencing domestic abuse - whether it's Police, GPs, social workers or Housing professionals - should have the awareness, confidence and training to ask, listen and respond.
#AskAndTakeAction is kindly supported by a range of charities and other experts who have come together to call for the Domestic Abuse Bill to ensure all public services ask about domestic abuse. Find out more: weareagenda.org/askandtakeac… @WelshWomensAid @womensaid

Another busy office day for @sruding who has had to rediscover his acting skills for the benefit of a social work promo film. He got to lie down for over an hour (but didn’t fall asleep in the job). BAFTA winning quality.
