A brilliant report on this subject was released recently, to very little fanfare...
It was covered in a Guardian piece, but there was little coverage elsewhere.
The full report, Picking Up the Pieces is absolutely heartbreaking. Why is DV dismissed as "irrelevant" in contact proceedings in the Family Courts, when two women a week are murdered by partners or ex-partners?
I'm going to email my MP with a copy of the report and ask what he intends to do to ensure the recommendations in this report are actioned.
Can I urge you to do the same!
