H&F Roundtable: Coercive and Controlling Behaviour & Criminal Justice

H&F Roundtable: Coercive and Controlling Behaviour & Criminal Justice

An overwhelming number of victim/survivors of Domestic Abuse (DA) report expericing coercive and controlling behaviour (CCB). Despite being made a criminal offence, CCB is difficult to evidence, charge, and prosecute.

This in-person roundtable will bring together criminal justice experts, practitioners, and individuals interested in exploring this critical topic.

The event is organised by Hammersmith & Fulham Council and the Impact Project partners as part of the 16 Days of Activism to end Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG). The Impact Project is a local partnership of agencies working in a coordinated community response to improve criminal justice outcomes for victim/survivors of DA in H&F.

Our Impact Project partners will delve into the limitations and challenges associated with CCB, share best practice, and invite questions and opportunities for learning and collaboration.

You will hear from:

• Tanya Allen, Programme Manager for Courts and Criminal Justice | Standing Together Against Domestic Abuse (STADA)
• Mike Mallon, District Crown Prosecutor | Crown Prosecution Service (CPS)
• Matt Hogg, Detective Chief Inspector | Metropolitan Police Service (MPS)
• H&F's Criminal Justice Independent Domestic Violence Advocate (IDVA) | Advance

The event is open to professionals working in the ending VAWG sector, Criminal Justice System, and other professionals supporting victim/survivors of DA in H&F.

Refreshments and light dinner provided.
