Labour — Birmingham Yardley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 December 2025

Debate

Violence against Women and Girls Strategy

Contribution

As somebody who has sat on a number of multi-agency risk assessment conferences over the years, what I will not do is just do what lots of people have done before. It is very easy to stand up and say, “a multi-agency response is the response to that”, but it just becomes words. It actually has to mean something. The strategy is not just something for one partner to do; it is for all of them.
