About This Framework
About This Framework
Coercive control is a pattern of ongoing controlling, coercive, and threatening behaviour designed to make a person subordinate and dependent by isolating them from sources of support, exploiting their resources, depriving them of independence, and regulating their everyday behaviour.
It became a criminal offence in England and Wales in 2015 under the Serious Crime Act, recognising that psychological abuse can be as harmful- and often more harmful- than physical violence.
This framework will help you:
Understand what coercive control is and how it works
Recognise grooming tactics used to establish control
Identify destabilisation techniques
Understand the profound impact on victims
Recognise post-separation continuation of control
Document concerns effectively
