I represented a mother who was raped by her ex-husband. He tried to convince the court he was a victim of domestic abuse and parental alienation. This case is an example of abusive men using ‘parental alienation’ to torment and frighten victims. It is DARVO. By @hansummers
A man who raped his wife and frequently wore a body-cam in the home to film his partner & kids attempted to manipulate the family courts into believing he was a victim of domestic abuse, a judge has found. My @TBIJ report in partnership with @ObserverUK 👉rb.gy/gigyms
On unregulated experts McFarlane told MPs that the issue is going back to the Family Procedure Rule Committee to see "whether it is in a position to lay down some basic requirements that individuals have to meet". He said that would take around six months.
TW: this is hard but necessary viewing. #ScreamsBeforeSilence captures the brutal sexual violence of 7th October.

An amendment to the Victims & Prisoners bill seeking to ensure only properly regulated experts give evidence in family court was debated on Tues. Baroness Chakrabarti said it relates to “cowboy experts” who are unregulated giving opinions & getting paid.🧵 rb.gy/09hek8
A rape survivor in London says she is "disgusted and disappointed" after the House of Lords rejected allowing crime victims to request a free transcript of summing up and sentencing remarks. bbc.in/4aNTtk7
This is to celebrate. It is real progress. BUT there is more to do. Third Party material - school reports, heath records from birth, social services material - all demanded of rape complainants before the CPS will even consider a charge - urgently need to be protected too.

In my London Rape Reviews, requests for therapy notes were dissuading victims from supporting prosecutions, and notes were being used to discredit victims. I’ve long supported #keepcounsellingconfidential and want to say a well done to @BertinGabby and all the campaigners ⬇️

Join us in urging @UKHouseofLords to agree amendments: Add those convicted of child sex offences #CSA into Clause 16 so a prohibited steps order is issued upon sentencing to offenders convicted of any form of sexual abuse perpetrated against a child in the family (80 & 84) 1/
Today the @UKHouseofLords is sitting down to agree amendments and we are URGING them to acknowledge and pass the following amendments to increase protections for victims and their children in #family court. Read Thread Below ⏬⏬
Requests for counselling notes can discourage victims of sexual violence from seeking much-needed professional help. We’re backing new measures to protect victims’ records during criminal investigations. Read more: gov.uk/government/new…

🚨 CAMPAIGN WIN 🚨 After years of campaigning with our sisters @RapeCrisisEandW, @centreWJ and @rightsofwomen, we're thrilled that the government is changing the law to help #KeepCounsellingConfidential and better protect rape survivors' right to privacy! 🧵
Tomorrow Lords are voting on Open Justice - something I have been campaigning & fighting for for just 4 months. @LDNVictimsComm & her team have been fighting for this for years. Here is to hoping that they will do whats right for victims & our healing tomorrow. #OpenJusticeForAll
Claire Waxman, who has joined the Times Crime and Justice Commission, had endured 18 months of ‘psychological terror’ when she sought help — but says she had to fight to get her case heard thetimes.co.uk/article/police…
For #NSAW2024, #JoinForcesAgainstStalking We’re excited to announce our new animation showcasing what an effective multi-agency response to stalking looks like. A victim-centred approach is not just possible, it's crucial.
The Times has launched a Crime and Justice Commission looking at sentencing policy, prisons & probation and tackling VAWG. Great to see @LDNVictimsComm as one of the Commissioners -making sure victims experience & voice is at the heart of these reforms thetimes.co.uk/article/what-c…
Happy to see @LDNVictimsComm as a commissioner on the Times Crime and Justice Comission. Her unwavering efforts in amplifying victims' voices to improve our experience through the criminal justice system gives me hope! 🙏 thetimes.co.uk/article/what-c…

7K Followers 3K Following Chief Executive @crisis_uk. UK rep for @FEANTSA. Chair of @ldnyouththeatre. MBE. Spurs fan.The president of the Family Division gave evidence to the HoC justice select committee earlier this week and was asked about the concept of parental alienation as well as the family court's use of unregulated psychologists as expert witnesses. Here are some highlights. 🧵👇
He tells MPs there has been a "complete upsurge" in the number of cases in which parental alienation is alleged: "...it is often fed by understanding that is given to separating parties that, if allegations are made against you, you might counter that with parental alienation."
Sir Andrew McFarlane says that while PA is a label "it is certainly not a syndrome" and not "a diagnosis". Courts should move away from the label and instead look at what is happening with a particular child and whether something needs to be investigated, he said.
Asked by @carolinenokes about the quality of psychological experts, McFarlane refers to the appeal known as 'Re C': "Frustratingly, it wasn't a vehicle that allowed me to deliver any definitive determination to say some experts should or should not be instructed," he said.
He added: "It certainly brought to light...that the term 'psychologist can be used by anybody. I could call myself a psychologist. The key thing is whether they are registered...some experts who are instructed in these case aren't registered and there is a degree of concern..."
The president says it should be "the norm" to instruct those who are registered. "If the court is being invited to instruct someone who is not registered, there has to be a particular reason why that is the necessary instruction rather than... someone who is registered." END 🧵
An amendment to the Victims & Prisoners bill seeking to ensure only properly regulated experts give evidence in family court was debated on Tues. Baroness Chakrabarti said it relates to “cowboy experts” who are unregulated giving opinions & getting paid.🧵 rb.gy/09hek8

This is such an important concession from the government after initial resistance - we helped persuade by looking at models in Canada and Australia that mean victims of rape can receive confidential counselling whilst pursuing a prosecution
After years of campaigning with our sisters @EVAWuk, @RapeCrisisEandW and @rightsofwomen, we are thrilled that the Government is changing the law to help #KeepCounsellingConfidential and better protect survivors' right to privacy. Read more: ow.ly/aGgm50RlUn4
We are delighted that after years of campaigning the Government has now accepted this amendment and that we will now #keepcounsellingconfidential gov.uk/government/new…
Extremely disappointed to see 187 Conservative lords vote against our amendment today to reduce the cost of court transcripts for victims. Justice should not have a price tag, and I will not give up this fight until the Justice Secretary hears our calls for change.
1/ Today, the House of Lords will vote on my colleague @SalBrinton’s proposal which would ensure nobody is forced to pay thousands for a transcript of the trial in which they were the victim. Yet sadly, neither Conservative nor Labour peers will be backing the proposals.
After years of campaigning with our sisters @EVAWuk, @rightsofwomen and @centreWJ, we are thrilled that the Government is changing the law to help #KeepCounsellingConfidential and better protect survivors' right to privacy. Read more ⬇️ rapecrisis.org.uk/news/campaign-…
Join us in urging @UKHouseofLords to agree amendments: Add those convicted of child sex offences #CSA into Clause 16 so a prohibited steps order is issued upon sentencing to offenders convicted of any form of sexual abuse perpetrated against a child in the family (80 & 84) 1/
All victims should be protected by the law and should never have to seek protections from perpetrators of abuse, unregulated experts, or untrained law officials in #familycourt. Please join us in our campaign to vouch for the rights and protections of all victims ‼️
(3) Finally, we support prohibiting unsupervised contact with parents, in domestic abuse and welfare cases during ongoing criminal proceedings for domestic abuse, sexual violence, and/or child abuse offences.
(2) We want to ensure that victims only subjected to psychological assessments by an expert regulated by the #HCPC. Those who are subjected to psychological assessments in family proceedings should only be assessed by qualified and regulated experts
(1) We support the suspension of the parental responsibility of parents convicted of sexual abuse against their partner or child. Children will be kept safer by removing the presumption of parental responsibility for #CSA offenders.
Today the @UKHouseofLords is sitting down to agree amendments and we are URGING them to acknowledge and pass the following amendments to increase protections for victims and their children in #family court. Read Thread Below ⏬⏬
Thank you @LDNVictimsComm @SalBrinton and everyone who supported. We get our heads together. And go again.
To hear the government say that they are unwilling to provide victims transcripts FOC is not a surprise. But it’s incredibly disappointing. They don’t understand the trauma and stress of a trial and the continued lack of transparency and control. #OpenJusticeForAll
