Claims Manx reform just follows English equivalent
A charity campaigner who successfully lobbied government for reform of the Island's domestic abuse laws has branded English legislation 'pitiful'.
Tamasin Wedgwood of Safe Strong Secure has questioned the effectiveness of the UK's Serious Crime Act, which has seen eight convictions for domestic abuse since its introduction in 2015.
The proposed Diversion of Offenders and Domestic Abuse bill for the Isle of Man has gone to public consultation, until August 20.
Ms Wedgwood says the draft bill is based on the 'flawed' English model:
RCN members consulted over latest pay offer
Tynwald backs chief minister's new minimum wage approach
The public deserves far better than the dysfunctional shambles it's seeing
Payments to Isle of Man Meats board more than triple over three years
Coastal overtopping expected either side of high tide
