The CSA Centre (Centre of Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse) have released a new report on the 2023/24 trends in official data. Using the free downloadable infographics, I made this poster for our staff.

Full report can be found here: www.csacentre.org.uk/research-res...

"This is no occasion to subject family and friends of your victims to any delay or suspense. I therefore make clear at once for each of these three murders, the sentence will be one of life imprisonment with a whole-life order. That means a sentence from which you will never be released"

Violence against women campaigners recognised in New Year Honours Carole Gould and Julie Devey co-founded a group supporting families affected by male violence.

As a charity founder you work hard. Julie and Carole, alongside the other @killedwomennw.bsky.social founders, work even harder - at a job they don’t want to do. I can’t think of women more deserving of this recognition #NewYearsHonours

Remembering the women killed by men in 2024 Here, Metro pays tribute to just some of the women whose lives were needlessly cut short by men in 2024.

By early August 2024, 50 women had allegedly been killed by men in the UK. Now, it is thought that number is closer to 100.
But these women shouldn’t just be considered yet another statistic in a horrifying body count. These women mattered.

No matter what you say or do, abuse is never your fault.

Even if you made big mistakes, even if you did something very wrong, you STILL do not deserve to be abused. Full stop.

Response to the latest ONS data on domestic abuse The importance of collecting a broad range of qualitative and quantitative data from survivors, frontline domestic abuse services, Maracs and local authorities.

Behind every statistic is a person – someone whose life has been shaped by fear, harm, and often a lack of access to the right help.

Read our statement on the latest figures from the ONS.

Tomorrow marks the 1 year anniversary of CMS becoming signatories of the Sexual Safety in Healthcare Organisational Charter. A lot of work has been done in that time educating staff and policy writing.
