Require psychological injury assessments in coercive control cases

Background

Require mandatory psychological injury assessments in coercive control cases, ensuring trauma is formally recognised and sentencing reflects the real harm caused. Psychological abuse destroys lives, the justice system must treat it as serious injury. These changes could be known as Skye's Law.

Additional details

In many cases trauma is never formally assessed or recognised. This lack of psychological injury assessment fails others. Psychological abuse leaves real injuries. We believe mandatory psychological injury assessments are needed in every case to reflect the true harm in safeguarding and sentencing.
