Islanders who have had experience of the Family Courts in Jersey where allegations of domestic abuse or violence were involved are being invited to take part in confidential interviews with an independent reviewer later this month.

Hannah Markham KC has been commissioned to undertake this work as part of Jersey’s ongoing efforts to implement the recommendations of the Taskforce on Violence Against Women and Girls.

One of the key recommendations is an independent review of the family justice system, focusing on how it responds to cases where allegations of domestic abuse or violence are made.

Individuals who come forward will be invited to attend a private, face-to-face interview in a confidential and appropriate non-Government setting. All information shared will be treated in the strictest confidence.

Anyone who would like to take part in an interview can find out more here: https://bit.ly/4vGl5lq

Ana Goodwin, our Substance Misuse Officer, held the first SAFER (Substance Awareness Focus & Recovery Group) group last week at Probation Services. SAFER is a structured, evidence-informed support intervention designed to help individuals build awareness around substance use, develop healthier coping strategies, and strengthen their personal recovery journey.

The programme is delivered in a weekly group session over 9 weeks, providing a safe and supportive environment where participants can learn, reflect, and share experiences.

Following the 9 week group component, each participant receives a 1-to-1 personalised session to co-create a personalised safety plan and a relapse prevention plan.

The SAFER programme aims to equip participants with the knowledge insight, and tools needed to make safer choices, promote recovery, and support long-term wellbeing.

By registering as a Safe Place, we are now part of an Island-wide network of organisations that offer immediate help and reassurance to anyone who feels vulnerable, or at risk in the community.

Displaying our Safe Places sticker and being listed on their app means that people in need can turn to us for a safe environment, a listening ear or practical support.
