Community perpetrator programmes are being cut and charities offer mostly small, local services. More must be done if we value women and children
It has been a difficult week. I have just started my third serious case review in as many years. In one case, a baby was returned to a home where there was known to be domestic violence, following hospitalisation because of an injury thought but not proven to be non-accidental. In the other two, babies were left in the home with the mother and a man who was known to be a domestic abuser. In each of the three cases, the man went on to murder the baby.
I have also been delivering a lot of training this week and so have been talking about numerous cases in which the perpetrator of domestic abuse had killed the child, and sometimes the partner (who in some cases was even pregnant at the time of her murder). It has made me wonder: how much longer this is going to go on?
