SAFEGUARDING minister Jess Phillips has described domestic abuse as the “Cinderella” of crimes, suggesting it has previously not been prioritised.
Abuse a 'Cinderella' crime

This comes as the Government outlines plans to embed domestic abuse specialist teams in police forces’ 999 control rooms early next year, to stop emergency services missing opportunities to save women’s lives.

Ms Phillips said she wants to do more than give domestic abuse victims “a good call”, and said the pilot scheme would act as part of an ambition to prevent domestic abuse from happening.

The move is part of Raneem’s Law to transform the way the police handle cases of violence against women and girls.
