Black domestic abuse campaigners get Valerie's Law proposal heard
Black domestic abuse campaigners say they have "made history" by getting their campaign for Valerie's Law heard by the government for the first time.Safeguarding minister Rachel Maclean pledged more support for black victims.
She said she hoped the meeting would help improve support because "clearly if there are gaps with police training I know that police officers will be first to put their hands up and say they want more training". Although the minister was supportive, Ms Headley said campaigners were still concerned the policy being drawn up was "without consideration of the black voice", and said they would continue to push for legal changes "so that the black voice is heard".
