finding that your little prison officers and probation officers be using that yes most definitely is a little yeah i've had some feedback from them about how useful that finding at that's ridiculous it's often difficult for the police to get a read on abusive relationships an early detection scheme helps to ensure action is taken immediately so we obviously did and trained over thousands start on your 8 stages and they love the fact that it's it's simple but really really supportive in helping in their risk assessment and some individuals with a history of domestic violence are given special attention by probation officers this one here the british police now see stocking as an early warning of potential violence the trick is stage is another one that people have talked really and given good feedback about because triggers is where we can identify those and then hopefully intervene at that point in time so it's about recognising what action we

can put in place when those triggers come about everybody's aware and that's the thing it's the stages as it was just puts it into an order for you because we all know the signs i think when i 1st spoke to you about the stages that was what really came across to it was like a light bulb maidment where it wasn't something new but it was something that was structured and form in a way that really helped clarify my thinking that was absolutely fabulous jane monckton smith is convinced that understanding coercive behavior can help victims. now. provides help on the ground to prevent them aside. in the german city of campaigners are hoping to recruit men for the cause. it's training night at the local rugby club. and sabina schlegel are here with
