Consultation on draft coercive control guidance
Your chance to have a say in a consultation on guidance for controlling or coercive behaviour
The Home Office have opened a consultation to help shape the draft statutory guidance on controlling or coercive behaviour.
The guidance will cover:
- information on what controlling or coercive behaviour is and how to identify it
- guidance to police and criminal justice agencies on where the offence will apply
- examples of evidence that can support identifying, evidencing and charging the offence
- how to reduce risk to victims, including using protection orders, supporting the victim, and responding to perpetrator’s behaviour
The guidance is primarily aimed at police and criminal justice agencies in England and Wales
However, the guidance is also relevant to organisations and agencies working with victims or perpetrators of domestic abuse, and to those dealing with the consequences of domestic abuse.
To input into the consultation, visit GOV.UK. The consultation is open from now until Saturday, 25 June.
