There is NO safe way to strangle someone. It’s a criminal offence. It raises risk of homicide by 800%. It kills. It’s abusive. @BridgendCBC
.@BridgendCBC : your funded domestic abuse service, Assia, has delivered Sex Ed in local schools, using materials including the promotion of the dangerous lie that ‘choking’ (strangulation) in sex is OK if it’s ‘consensual’
Sue me if I'm wrong

Detecting a controlling abuser is a huge challenge that social workers face every day.
But I have found many do not receive specific training on coercive control which can save lives, despite it being a crime since 2015.

"The questions I had in the beginning about Family Group Conference;
Will families come, will they make plans, will the plans be safe?
Are not really interesting questions now. Because the answer to those questions is YES, they will come, they will make plans, they will be safe. The more interesting questions for me are how do you make family group conferences work in an orthodoxy and in a system which is built on different ideas and different beliefs?"
Rediscovering this Classic film discussing FGC, with fluent insights from Paul Nixon former NZ chief social worker, very applicable to the current times, working with Family Group Conference in UK local authorities.
"What we're trying to do here is to bring together the knowledge and the skills, the families in collaboration with the knowledge, skills, and resources of professionals... And actually when you start to look broadly in families, you will find strengths and knowledge and skills and resources.
So I think it's important in this FGC discussion to, to say that we're not trying to diminish the role of professionals. We're just trying to reshape the role of professionals. And I think that's a challenge for us because it's something we're not used to."

So many of our social interventions with domestic violence expect the adult and child survivor to "clean up the mess" made by the perpetrator--and to clean it up in the way professionals expect them to clean it up. This is double jeopardy. #StopBlamingMothers
