The government to help victims of domestic violence

Closed 50 signatures

What the petition asks

social services need further training with dealing with women of domestic violence they are quick enough to take children away from women but they are not trained to support women in getting out of these relationship or helping women to be reunited with their children
All cases involving social services and courts should have a expert witness available to explain to everyone the effects and complications of domestically violent relationships also to help everyone understand it. Too many women are just deemed as bad mothers for not being able to escape domestically abusive relationship when there is no support even from social services
