Tuesday, 9 July 2024 Jess Phillips has been appointed to the Labour government as a minister, focusing on tackling violence against women and girls and domestic violence.
Sharon Holland says her life "is not the same anymore" since her daughter Chloe took her own life after suffering sustained domestic abuse. An annual national police report has revelaed that most domestic abuse victims die by suicide. Sharon met Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips who says in most cases like Chloe's, "it wasn't the first cry for help". Assistant Commissioner of the National Police Chiefs' Council Louisa Rolfe adds the report "identifies how much more we need to do, not just in policing but in wider society". Report by Brooksl.
