I appreciate admin's hussle
Thread: I am extremely proud to have been part of the Backbone Collective's team which carried out the research which inspired Paula's in-depth and excellent reporting.
Huge gratitude & admiration for the victim-survivors who took part in our survey. It was a privilege to read your insights. 1/n
This is excellent and important reporting and none of it surprises me (unfortunately)
Mandated therapy, or self-referral because someone wants it taken into account at sentencing, creates a massive hurdle in the creation of a therapeutic alliance.
Why would someone be honest with a practitioner about their behaviour if they have one eye on the report they want written?
This 🧵 makes me feel sick

Not only are they failing to asking survivors if the abuse has decreased (i.e. measuring the actual intended outcome), the cheap option of former perpetrators taking over courses from qualified practitioners seems to be giving abusers a cosy mens' group rather than changing behaviour.

You cannot negotiate with your abuser to stop abusing you.
Nice work, and Paula's reporting was excellent. Hopefully someone pays attention.
The whole contracting model needs to be reviewed, especially when, as in this case, the harm from ticking off ineffective programmes is potentially catastrophic.

I spent some time looking at stopping-violence programmes and concerns within the sector about what’s working v what’s not, and whose voice is missing.
