Manchester Women's Aid: Safe and Together

What if all Domestic Abuse survivors knew that professionals are not going to blame them for what the perpetrator is doing? 

Systems that touch on domestic violence and coercive control are often blind to the choices of perpetrators as parents. They are siloed in their practices and do not have the training or skills to work holistically in collaboration with other agencies in the domestic violence ecosystem for solutions that keep children safe and together with their non-offending parent.
