Mandate domestic violence training for all family court & social workers — 64 signatures. Status: open.
Make accredited domestic abuse, coercive control and trauma-informed training mandatory for social workers and family court professionals, with regular updates, so every worker has high-quality training to safeguard survivors and children.
Some survivors and children are still being failed, misunderstood and victim-blamed by professionals without specialist knowledge. Every social worker must receive high-quality, regularly updated training to improve safeguarding, challenge harmful assumptions and prevent unsafe decisions.
