More than welcome yesterday's announcement of stricter management of the most dangerous abusers and new protections for victims.
This includes, for the first time ever, controlling or coercive behaviour being put on a par with physical violence; meaning perpetrators will be placed on a register with greater oversight.
The Government will also be widening the reach of its Ask for ANI scheme, allowing those needing help to do so safely.
You can find out more about the measures, and what they mean for the Government's plan to wipe out this heinous crime once and for all, here: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/domestic-abusers-face-crackdown-in-raft-of-new-measures.
I will also continue to work with our amazing local organisations, helping them in their work to support those seeking assistance, and raising their work with Ministers.
