Tackling Economic Abuse: Effective approaches for councils and VCS partners

Did you know that 1 in 5 women in the UK has experienced economic abuse from a current or former partner? Despite its prevalence, economic abuse can be hidden and is not yet well understood. Economic abuse can significantly impact someone’s physical and economic safety, and everyone has a part to play in tackling it. Join Money Advice Plus (MAP), Surviving Economic Abuse (SEA) and the Government Debt Management Function (GDMF) for a webinar discussing effective approaches to identifying and tackling economic abuse. The session will cover what economic abuse is; the forms it can take in a council context, why a joined-up approach is important, and the role local government can play to identify abuse and support those experiencing it.
