Petition Action

Add Covert Emotional Abuse behaviour patterns to the Government DA Publication.

Petition Details

Specify in DA publication: Idealise/devalue cycle, gaslighting, isolation, entitlement, victim blaming, projection, manipulation, low empathy, triangulation, lying, rage, name-smearing, exploitation, control, financial control, silent treatments, denial. Introduce Mandatory Training & Checklists.

Additional Information

The insidious nature of this abuse makes it difficult for victims to recognise until late on. Trauma bonding (a psychological response) resulting from a repeated cycle of abuse, devaluation & positive reinforcement makes leaving hard. Behaviour Checklists & Mandatory Training for professional agencies (Police, Child Protection, Mental Health Teams, Marriage Counsellors, GP’s, Lawyers & Judges) & inclusion in the DofE categories of abuse would help identify such covert patterns of abuse.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We understand you're concerned about awareness of emotional abuse, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like to be changed.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
