This event is in person only and catering will be provided
Imkaan, the UK’s only national umbrella organisation for Black and minoritised ‘by and for’ VAWG (violence against women and girls) organisations and the UK Prevention Research Partnership VISION consortium warmly invite you to a showcase of ground-breaking research that brings into sharp focus the stark inequalities faced by Black and minoritised women and girls subjected to violence and abuse — and the vital role of specialist ‘by and for’ Black and minoritised VAWG organisations in supporting them.
Chaired by Professor Ravi Thiara from the VISION consortium and the University of Warwick and featuring the London Victims’ Commissioner, Andrea Simon, the event will bring together voices from academia, VAWG sector policy research and specialist frontline practice. Together, we will launch a new report from Imkaan’s research team —exploring the current state of the specialist ‘by and for’ sector, the life-saving support it provides, and the funding inequalities, sustainability challenges and barriers it continues to face, alongside examples of promising practice.
We are pleased to welcome Shaminder Ubhi, Executive Director of Ashiana Network, a pioneering ‘by and for’ organisation with over three decades of experience providing intersectional, holistic and trauma-informed VAWG support to Black and minoritised women and girls. We will also be joined by Dr Hannah Manzur (VISION consortium and City St George’s), who will share innovative research synthesising key findings on the harms, challenges and barriers faced by Black and minoritised women who have experienced VAWG, as well as the role of specialist ‘by and for’ organisations.
The programme will be added to this page very soon.
For more information about the event please contact Rani Selvarajah, Research & Policy Manager, Imkaan at rani@imkaan.org.uk.
The fifth VISION annual conference was held on 7 July at The Light Auditorium in Friends House. The theme was Violence prevention in dialogue: Research and Policy.
After five years of research looking at violence prevention and the resulting health inequalities and focusing on improved measurement, policy, and practice, and delivering through a strong cross-sector partnership, we showcased our research in partnership with stakeholders Refuge, High Trees, Migrants’ Rights Network, Gloucestershire police constabulary, and Revolving Doors. In addition, we invited those working in violence prevention to critically assess our contributions and identify where further research and prioritised focus are required.
Jo Todd of Respect and Professor Gene Feder, VISION Director, reflected on 25 years of working in violence prevention as frontline practitioners and researchers. Drawing on their extensive experience, they highlighted both the progress made and the challenges that remain. While collaboration between government, academia, and the third sector has improved, longstanding silos—particularly across the health and criminal justice sectors—persist. Overcoming these barriers requires sustained commitment to relationship-building and cross-sector working.
They noted that significant progress has been made in violence prevention policy, including the publication of the government’s Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) strategy last year. However, there remains considerable interest in how the incoming Prime Minister will take forward the Labour government’s commitment to halve violence against women and girls within a decade, and what this will mean for future policy, practice, and investment.
Professor Liz Kelly from London Metropolitan University was our 2nd keynote speaker and shared her thoughts on the language and naming of violence in the 21st century. Liz highlighted that language changes not just what we say but what we know and recognise. The words we use in the field as researchers, analysts, policymakers, officials, and practitioners matter and should be clear and grounded in victim / survivor agency and freedom.
VISION research was highlighted in three symposiums:
Insight: Key findings on definitions and measurement within violence prevention
Dr Vishal Bhavsar (Kings College London) and Professor Miranda Horvath (University of Suffolk) presented on intimate partner violence perpetration.
Dr Madeleine Janickyj (University College London) and Emma Pickering (Refuge) presented on technology facilitated abuse.
Inclusion: Violence prevention research with marginalised populations
Dr Alexandria Innes (City St George’s UoL), Aya Khedairi (Migrants’ Rights Network) and Professor Gargi Bhattacharyya (University College London) presented on insecure migration status. Andri and Aya discussed their project, Understanding Violence: the risks for migrants with rising far-right fascism and the resulting output, Workbook: Migrant Community Insights on Building Safety. Gargi highlighted how the far right is misusing genuine work and research and that media discussion of VAWG frequently descends into racism and incitement.
Dr Annie Bunce (City St George’s UoL) and Lauren Bennett and Anthony Donohoe from Revolving Doors presented their work on developing principles for co-analysis with Lived Experience.
Involve: A look at two ongoing, impactful pieces of VISION research with partners
Dr Elizabeth Cook (City St George’s UoL) and Harry Jenkins (High Trees) presented their collaborative research developing Built on Trust, a report with youth from Lambeth in London on the role of youth spaces and trusted adults in reducing young people’s exposure to violence.
Dr Ruth Weir (City St George’s UoL) and Sophie Jarrett (Gloucestershire Police) presented on their system-wide partnership with central and local government, police, education trusts, and the third sector to understand and prevent teenage relationship abuse (TRA). This work has resulted in the establishment of a national group on TRA and a local group wtihin Gloucestershire.
VISION co-Deputy Directors, Professor Sally McManus (City St George’s UoL) and Dr Estela Capelas Barbosa (University of Bristol) closed the conference by reflecting on the achievements of the VISION consortium and outlining priorities for the future of violence prevention research, policy, and practice. Sally highlighted the wide range of datasets, tools, resources, and publications developed by VISION over the past five years. Looking ahead, Estela emphasised the need for further research on violence affecting LGBTQI+ communities and minoritised women and children. She also stressed the importance of breaking down the persistent silos between the health and criminal justice sectors, noting that the impacts of violence extend across both systems. Effective prevention and support therefore require joined-up services, coordinated policies, and cross-sector collaboration.
Visual artists, Abigail and Chloe Baldwin, from Buttercrumble, beautifully captured the day in a series of illustrations which can be downloaded below along with the keynote and symposium presentations.
Wednesday 17 June 2026, 13:00 – 16:45, in person only
This event is in the past.
This free, interdisciplinary seminar brings together leading voices from research, lived experience, performance, and specialist practice to examine intimate partner violence in relationships between men and consider implications for policy, research, professional practice, and wider system response.
Despite increasing recognition that abuse within intimate male relationships is a significant public health, social justice, and service delivery issue, it remains under recognised across many systems and disciplines. Survivors frequently encounter barriers to recognition, disclosure, and support, while policy, professional training, and public discourse have historically paid limited attention to these experiences.
This event will explore the dynamics, impacts, and structural challenges surrounding abuse in this context, and consider how research, policy, practice, and public understanding can evolve to better respond.
The programme combines research presentations, creative performance, lived experience testimony, and expert commentary to offer a multi-dimensional exploration of the issue. The seminar will include catering and:
A brief research presentation on prevalence, dynamics, barriers to recognition, and current evidence gaps from Dr Steven Maxwell
A monologue from He Kept Me Safe, a research based verbatim play developed from survivor narratives exploring abuse within intimate male relationships by Dr Edgar Rodriguez-Doran
A keynote contribution from broadcaster, comedian and survivor advocate James Barr, reflecting on his lived experience through comedy and the role of storytelling
A talk from Tanaka Mhishi, writer and researcher in masculinity, trauma and sexual violence, exploring masculinity, trauma, violence, and engaging men in conversations about healing
Brief facilitated interdisciplinary discussion on implications for research, policy, education, commissioning, service design, and practice
This event aims to stimulate critical interdisciplinary dialogue and contribute to wider thinking on inclusive responses to domestic abuse and sexual violence.
Intended Audience / Invitees
The seminar is intended for a broad interdisciplinary audience including:
Researchers and academics across social science, health, psychology, gender studies, criminology, law, public health, and related disciplines

Blog by Dr Darren Cook, VISION Research Fellow in Natural Language Processing
Earlier this month, Dr Elizabeth (Lizzie) Cook and I had the opportunity to introduce our developing project on Domestic Homicide Reviews (DHRs) at the Vulnerability and Policing Futures Research Centre’s second annual conference in Leeds. The two-day event brought together academics, practitioners, and policymakers to explore the themes of reducing harm and strengthening justice.
In a session on Measuring Vulnerability: Harnessing Routinely Collected Data, we outlined how natural language processing (NLP) could be used to improve access to and analysis of the Home Office’s growing library of DHR reports. We highlighted both the opportunities and challenges of applying advanced computational methods to such sensitive material and set out our vision for building a tool to make the full corpus of DHRs more searchable. By improving searchability, researchers and policymakers can more effectively explore recurring themes and insights within the reports.
Our talk prompted thoughtful questions and constructive feedback from an interdisciplinary audience of around 30 participants, which will help shape the next stages of the project.
What are Domestic Homicide Reviews?
Domestic Homicide Reviews (DHRs) are reports that examine the circumstances surrounding a death resulting from suspected domestic violence or abuse. Introduced in the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act (2004) and implemented in 2011, these reviews provide a detailed, chronological account of the victim and perpetrator. They are written in narrative form and aim to identify lessons that can be learned from a domestic homicide.
Since June 2023, over 600 reports have been made publicly available through an online repository with a view to improving transparency and to encourage greater opportunity for learning.
Why does access remain a challenge?
Despite the progress made with the repository, researchers and practitioners still face barriers that limit how effectively the reports can be used. In our talk, we focused on two key challenges: (1) At present, each report must be extracted individually, which is impractical for projects working across hundreds of documents, and (2) The repository’s search functions rely on a fixed set of tags added by the Home Office. Users cannot create new categories or adjust existing ones, which restricts the kinds of questions researchers can ask. As a result, while the reports are technically public, their full potential as a resource remains difficult to unlock.
Building better access
Our presentation built on earlier consultation work with public and third sector organisations, and we shared some of the next steps we are planning. These will be set out in more detail in an upcoming research protocol paper co-authored with Sumanta Roy, a member of our VISION Advisory Board and Head of Research, Evaluation & Development at Imkaan, and Ravi Thiara, VISION Co-Investigator and Professor at University of Warwick.
Our central idea is to explore the feasibility of creating a structured dataset that summarises the key features of the DHR library. This would capture information such as victim and perpetrator demographics, the commissioning body, safeguarding risks, recommendations, and missed opportunities.
To do this, we are developing a tool that applies text-mining and natural language processing (NLP) techniques to extract information directly from the reports. The resulting dataset will be both searchable and filterable, allowing users to focus on increasingly specific subsets of the material. We also want to build functionality that enables users to download customised sets of reports rather than relying on individual downloads.
How will this help researchers and policymakers?
By improving access, searchability, and flexibility, our project will make it possible to work with DHRs at a scale that has not previously been possible. Instead of relying on small samples or manual searches, researchers will be able to look across hundreds of cases, identify recurring patterns, and ask new kinds of questions. The creation of a structured dataset will also support more consistent and comparable findings, helping to strengthen collaboration between academics, practitioners, and policymakers.
In the longer term, we hope this work will not only make DHR research more efficient but also ensure that the lessons within these reports are more easily applied to safeguarding practice.
Looking back to the conference
Presenting at the Vulnerability and Policing Futures Conference gave us the chance not only to share our ideas but also to test them with an audience of experts. The thoughtful discussions and questions we received will help guide how we take this project forward.
Fourteen researchers from across the UKPRP VISION research consortium attended the September 2025 European Conference on Domestic Violence (ECDV) in Barcelona, Spain. The team presented key findings from their VISION research and several also convened a symposium. It was a successful turnout from the team and a fantastic networking opportunity.
The ECDV conference aims to support and reflect the aims of the Council of Europe’s Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence. It was developed to enhance the visibility and connection of individuals working to address domestic violence in Europe, while also benefitting from the contribution of colleagues from outside Europe.

by Justin Coleman, Violence, Abuse and Mental Health Network
The UK Prevention Research Partnership VISION consortium’s 4th annual conference on violence prevention was a truly impactful day. As part of the Violence, Abuse and Mental Health Network Lived Experience Advisory Group (VAMHN LEAG), representing a lived experience perspective, I found the discussions both thought-provoking and essential. The event skilfully blended academic rigor, professional expertise, and, crucially, profound lived and learned experience, prompting vital questions about how we truly move forward in creating a more inclusive and effective violence prevention landscape.
The Imperative of Inclusive Practice: Who Are We Really Serving?
A key takeaway was the urgent need for radical inclusivity. While Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) was rightly highlighted and the clear and marked volume and % percentage numbers are stark, I question if we’re inadvertently creating gaps for other survivors. As a male survivor of abuse, as a child, I wonder if our messaging and funding focus heavily on one demographic, how do we ensure male survivors, LGBTQ+ individuals, and marginalised communities (young and older) feel seen and supported? True trauma-informed practice, to me, means moving beyond “what’s wrong with you?” to “what happened to you?” for everyone who is impacted by all forms of violence and abuse. No matter who you are, this simply shouldn’t happen to anyone.
Data, lived experience, and investment: Are we looking at the full picture?
The power of data in policy was clear, but it also raised concerns. Are investment strategies relying on outdated statistics? If resource allocation isn’t based on continuously updated, comprehensive data, are we truly capturing the evolving landscape of violence and the needs of all survivors today? Quantitative data alone can miss nuanced realities that lived experience and ethnographic insights provide. We need a dynamic balance where current lived realities inform and refresh our understanding, ensuring our leadership is deeply connected to ‘our’ diverse lived experiences.
Redefining safety and dignity: Beyond the checklist
The concept of “safety” in support spaces commented on at the conference resonated deeply. Can we ever guarantee “safety,” or should we strive for environments that are continually “safer” and more “supported”? This shift moves us beyond ticking a box to an ongoing commitment. The most impactful word was “dignity.” Shouldn’t ensuring dignity be a fundamental aim at every stage of a survivor’s journey, enabling genuine opportunity for healing and empowerment?
Breaking silos: The path to unified prevention
Effective violence prevention demands a cross-government, cross-sector approach. We need to collaborate beyond our immediate professional bubbles, integrating insights from areas like the criminal justice system to inform victim services. While “whole-family” approaches were discussed, I questioned if we can expand this to truly embrace “whole-community” approaches, ensuring LGBTQ+ individuals, isolated people, and every member of society has an equitable voice and space in prevention, responsibility, and repair.
Moving forward: A collective responsibility
This conference was a crucial step, bringing vital voices to the table. The co-produced animation with VAMHN and SafeLives, available on the City St George’s University of London YouTube channel, https://youtu.be/z6LbYDGfBZw?si=3-tJYXDqLfM16pE-, is an excellent resource for understanding lived experience engagement. To truly mobilise an effective cross-government response, we must continue to ask:
Are our investment decisions agile enough to respond to current data and the evolving needs of all survivors?
Does promoting the financial cost of crime and low conviction rates discourage reporting?
How can we ensure every violence prevention initiative is genuinely trauma-informed and inclusive, making all children, male, LGBTQ+, and all marginalised survivors feel equally seen, heard, and supported? What is the cost of not being inclusive?
Are we creating enough opportunities for genuine connection and partnership across diverse stakeholders at events like this, rather than just delivering information?
Are we bravely embracing “safer” and “dignity” as guiding principles, continuously improving how we support survivors?
Are we actively breaking down silos to build robust and equitable prevention and support systems?
The future of violence prevention depends on challenging existing paradigms, embracing inclusivity, advocating for trauma-informed practice and care, and working together from all perspectives with updated knowledge and a shared commitment to a safer journey towards dignity for all. This VISION conference stimulated valuable questions and directions, strengthening my determination to build connectivity, dignity, and safer spaces for survivors.
