100 Days of Safeguarding – Day 67 – Coercive Control

Data recently released by the Office for National Statistics reveals that in the year to March 2021 there were 33,954 offences of coercive control recorded by police in England and Wales (758 in Merseyside), up from 24,856 the year before. Unfortunately however, the majority of cases do not currently lead to prosecution. It is therefore very important for all professionals to recognise coercive control and to ensure victims receive the support they need.
