#SAFE CONSULTANCY
Cocoon, Protect & Serve


From time to time we see Police Forces from around the UK tweeting about domestic violence and abuse, this escalates at peak times throughout the year, Christmas, the World Cup, Valentine's Day.

I have been studying and researching Police Forces timelines as part of the #SAFE Police Program, analysing the use of this invaluable tool - social media.

My local force Greater Manchester Police - GMP have 156.1k followers, the Met have 210.

Domestic Violence & Careers

Seeing beyond the victim....

Fleeing, escaping and being #SAFE are all the priorities for a victim of domestic violence/abuse but what happens after you have escaped the campaign of violence and terror, the coercive control and manipulation - what paths will be available to you as you journey to thrive and take back control of all of YOUR life?  

For me domestic violence stole a large chunk of my career, there was I highly trained and educated to project manage, an exciting new venture handed to me to nurture and grow.

FIFTY SHADES OF ABUSE

Yesterday I spoke with Steve, Section 15 HMRC regarding my #SAFE and whilst I was chatting we discussed the tax for Fifty Shades Of Abuse.

Steve has informed me that no UK tax is payable on the book as the US have collected all monies due and that it is the charities responsibility to pay any taxes due in the UK - the charities will now receive their donations.

We will be contacting the nominated charities over the next few days to arrange payments to be transferred - these will be done by BAC or Just Giving to keep costs to a minimum.

A #SAFE VICTORY FOR VICTIMS - WE NEED AS MANY VICTIMS AS POSSIBLE TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS!

VICTIMS/SURVIVORS

If you have been a victim of domestic violence, rape, child abuse, stalking or harassment and the abuser knows your personal details - date of birth, mother's maiden name, children's date of birth etc - ALL security questions - Data Protection Act - ALL answers that an abuser will know then you can have a higher level of security for DWP and HMRC - tax.

BEFORE READING PLEASE NOTE:  GREATER MANCHESTER POLICE - GMP - DEEMED ME AS AT HIGH RISK FROM HOMICIDE & FIRE 

On Tuesday 8th July I made a phone call to the Department Of Work & Pensions (DWP), what has followed and been revealed has left me not only in a state of shock but appalled at the Government and "decision makers - the "professionals."

Home Swapping – A #SAFE warning for victims of domestic abuse

As a by-product of our quick moving technological era, the prospect of a new home is at the fingertips of many social housing tenants through the “home swap system”. This allows tenants to mutually exchange their homes through an online gateway. This is a desirable prospect for an increasing number of social housing tenants who may seek a larger or smaller house or who may wish to move to a different area and, at the same time, avoid lengthy waiting lists.

CHILD ABUSE & FGM
Last year a young girl contacted me, she was being taken against her will to Pakistan, her words "I'm being taken so my family can abuse me" haunted me for weeks.
The Police and the girl's school were notified immediately and for the next 6 weeks I was the only form of communication between the child and the UK.  The Police began to conduct their investigations and it was confirmed that the child had boarded a plane to Pakistan.

MY JOURNEY......A NEW BEGINNING

The last 4 years have been the toughest of my life....

On the 1st November 2010 I escaped over 21 years of domestic violence and abuse, it was horrific & I am very thankful that today I can stand on my own two feet.....literally.

This is not drama it is the truth.

2010 marked the start of a new journey for my girls & I and as we fled to the Police station bursting through the doors crying for help I knew I was #SAFE - the Police had promised me.

ISLE OF MAN

WEDNESDAY

My alarm went off at 5am but I didn't curse or snooze - I was out of bed like a rocket and even though I knew it was my last day in the Isle Of Man I knew I would be back.....

Sgt Kelly arrived bright and early at 6am and off we went to lay tracks and meet the rest of the team.  I will be posting videos on YouTube of the tracking - amazing to watch
