Farheen and Helen identified the passion and commitment that Louisa Rolfe OBE brought to her work and being better able to understand the landscape of domestic abuse from their discussion with her.
They describe how Mark Brooks OBE took time to outline the behaviours of domestic abuse and provide a simple message that it is not acceptable. Also how Mark explained that it is possible to leave an abusive relationship and maintain positivity.
Farheen and Helen reflected on how Asher Majeed emphasised that sharing experiences will reinforce further sharing and build a community for support and most importantly that victims are not alone.
Finally, recalling that Ippo Panteloudakis reinforced the message that victims have the right to demand a respectful response. He advocated a wide ranging increase in help seeking and the importance of tailoring the approach to every person and being open minded when offering support.
