As a survivor of domestic abuse, I can say without a doubt, it is soul-de-stroying for any victim of abuse to not feel heard, seen or believed when dealing with any of the authorities or professionals responsible for safeguarding them and their children.

And this often leaves a victim feeling even more vulnerable and scared.

Hi, I'm Kate, and I'm a trauma and domestic abuse breakthrough specialist and DASH risk assessor and educator.

Not only have I trained intensively in the world of trauma and the topics that embody violence against women and girls, but by combining my professional expertise with my own personal experience, I am confident that if more professionals were trained to take a trauma-informed, yet factual approach to risk assessing and equally when engaging in any investigative process it would not only strengthen a victim's confidence and trust when dealing with these professionals, but it could reduce the rate of fatalities and improve outcomes for women and girls.

I'm also a firm believer that a big part of the jigsaw puzzle to reduce the rate of fatalities is to arm women and girls with the facts around coercive control, stalking, violence, and other abuse-related crimes. And helping them to better understand what is reportable and how best to approach this when engaging with the authorities and navigating day-to-day life.
