This is what makes our work all worthwhile.... I would like to say Thankyou Vicky for your patience with me and what I felt was your genuine concern. Glad there is women like you in the world helping women. Jane x #domesticabuse #familycourt

To all #domesticabuse professionals, repeat after me "A RESTRAINING ORDER IS NOT A NON MOLESTATION ORDER"40% of referrals received by us are for restraining orders!!! #womens_aid #FamilyCourt #DomesticViolence #RefugeCharity

If you are referring a victim for a #nonmolestationorder do it NOW & don't delay. Too many referrals are made when its too late. NMO's are time sensitive & based on recent incidents. #DomesticAbuse #idva #FamilyCourt

There is a little coffee shop, where two people arrive and approached the counter. “Five coffees please. Two for us and three hanging.” They paid, they took their two coffees and left. I asked the waiter. "What’s this about hanging coffees?" “Wait and you'll see." Some more people came in. Two girls asked for a coffee each, they paid & left. The following order was for seven coffees and it was made by three women - ‘three for them and four hanging coffees.’ I was left wondering...what is the meaning of the hanging coffees, they leave. Then, a man dressed in worn clothes, who looks like he might be homeless, arrives at the counter and asks sincerely... “Do you have a coffee hanging?" “Yes we do, sir.” They serve him a coffee.... I got my answer. People pay in advance for a coffee that will be served to whoever can't afford a hot drink. This tradition started in Naples. Amazingly, it has spread throughout the world’s cities and towns. It’s also possible to order not only "hanging coffees" but also a sandwich or a full low cost meal. Wouldn’t it be great if we could all start doing this in the cities and towns where we live? Small kindnesses like this can impact so many lives, in ways we could never imagine. Maybe we should all try it.😊❤️

‘Breach is a breach and that’s the end of it’. I hear repeatedly from victims how breaches of protective orders were excused or dismissed by police, CPS or courts. Lazy justice responses that enables abusers and puts victims at risk. Every breach must be responded to robustly.

#Domesticabuse often escalates when a woman tries to leave the perpetrator. It's essential that there is a coordinated community response in place to protect women, hold perpetrators to account and prevent #postseparationabuse. @UkKaleidoscopic #PSAAW
