I got over 5,000 reactions on my posts last week! Thanks everyone for your support! Sexual and domestic violence are such important topics for discussion and debate.
Using this platform to push the agenda forward to stop this and being able to hold a position to be able to do so is such a privilege.
Thank you.

We are well known locally as well as province wide for giving clear concise advice.

I don’t think this advice could be any clearer.

Just one thing to add - stop victim blaming and stop making violence against women a problem for women to solve.

It is a societal issue.

After another incredibly shocking week of cases, hearings and news stories last week about domestic abuse and violence against women and girls we thought it was incumbent upon us to try to find some light and hope for the coming week ahead.

This course is offered free to those who work with young people in any way.

It is so worthwhile doing and it is we feel one of the main ways that we can all start to effect a change.

What our young people think and how they behave is vitally important.

If you have any influence in this area ask your employer to invest your time in this work please.

I was delighted to contribute to the panel talk yesterday evening at Lisburn Féile
Joined by Allison Morris, Vicki Kearney and Declan McNally there was a lively, animated debate about the scourge of violence towards women and girls. At all times thought provoking the conversation was at times sad and frightening.

These discussions should be taking place in every town and city in N Ireland.

Given the horrendous news from Ballymena this week we wanted to publish this poster, created by Women’s Aid. If you need help you can reach out in total confidence to any of the offices, to the police and to any family Solictor.

If you think your friend, sister, daughter, niece or mother needs this please reach out to them. It could only take your encouragement to help them get out.

We will be closing for the annual 12th holiday on Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th July.

The office reopens on Wednesday 15th but please remember your favourite Solicitor may well have taken some extra time off.

It has been an extraordinarily busy 6 months so far this year so thank you all.

Have a safe and restful break!

Today was a good day for heroes who we sometimes call victims.

It is never too late to report abuse of any kind to the police.

I hope many many heroes take courage from today - that Justice can be done, even in the most difficult of situations.

Great news that extra protections are finally going through at the NI Assembly.

Working in retail is hard enough without having to worry about threat or assault.

The increase and specifications now of offences such as these on retail workers will afford all workers the ability to do their job in a more protected atmosphere.

If you are someone who thinks you can mistreat a person who is simply trying to help think again - your conviction will be swift and your sentence higher!

A new sentencing bill introduced to the Stormont assembly in Marcg will make it a specific offence to assault a public facing worker.

Quite unbelievably yesterday Solicitors in NI who do immigration and asylum work were threatened on social media Their details were published and set out clearly on a message which invited “patriots” to do what they wished with the information. Anyone who thinks this is anything other than a thr...
