| 1 | That Manchester Community Safety Partnership ensures that all domestic abuse training focusses on coercive and controlling behaviour as a form of domestic abuse and that the learning from this case is utilised to inform domestic abuse training in respect of the impact of controlling behaviour in undermining the self-esteem of the victim and potentially affecting their mental health. | Manchester Community Safety Partnership |
