MK Act is to mark its half century anniversary with a major Domestic Abuse Conference.
The milestone event will be held in the new city next month, bringing together experts, practitioners, and community leaders to strengthen the collective response to domestic abuse and improve outcomes for survivors.
Delegates from health, education, social care, housing, public services, and the voluntary sector will gather to share learning, explore current challenges, and shape the future of domestic abuse support services across the region.
The conference will feature expert speakers, interactive workshops, and survivor voices, offering powerful insight into lived experiences within the Milton Keynes community.
Topics include post-separation abuse, counter-allegations, the Fresh Start perpetrator programme, coercive control, and abuse of older people.
“This year’s event promises to be a landmark occasion, bringing together leading experts, frontline practitioners, and passionate advocates to explore how we can best meet the needs of survivors," said Sue Burke, CEO of MK Act.
“It is vital for us to exchange knowledge, learn from one another, and forge stronger collaborations. By working together, we can ensure our services are seamlessly integrated and that survivors always remain at the centre of everything we do.”
The conference will take place on November 4 in partnership with The Centre for Protecting Women Online at The Open University, Milton Keynes.
