Polly Neate will join Shelter after four years as CEO of
Women’s Aid, the grassroots federation of domestic violence charities that
provides life-saving services and campaigns against domestic violence. During
this time, Polly dramatically raised the profile of domestic violence against
women in the British conscience through prominent commentary and tireless
campaigning. Much of this has resulted in legislation to create a new criminal
offence of coercive and controlling behaviour, more than £30m new funding for
domestic abuse refuges, and a review of the way the family courts treat
survivors of domestic abuse and their children. Read more on 24housing.
