Who We Are: One Voice Against Abuse — The Organisation Built Because the System Failed
03 Dec 2025

1VAA was created because the UK’s safeguarding system is failing victims at every level. With police dismissals, unsafe family court rulings, and widespread mishandling of evidence, survivors are being harmed by the very institutions meant to protect them. We are the organisation built in the gap between danger and justice — where victims turn when “nothing more can be done.”

System Failure: Why Victims Are Still Unsafe in 2025 and What Must Change Now
03 Dec 2025

Despite decades of reports, inquiries and reforms, survivors of domestic abuse, stalking, child abuse and coercive control remain unprotected in the UK. From “no further action” decisions to unsafe family court rulings, the system continues to fail those who rely on it most. This article exposes the patterns behind these failures — and why 1VAA exists to challenge them.

March for Justice 2026 — A Decade After Westminster, Survivors Rise Again

On 13 April 2026, survivors across the UK will march in cities nationwide to mark 10 years since 1VAA first stood at Parliament demanding protection for victims and children. This is not a march for awareness or sympathy — it is a march for accountability, safety, and justice. A decade after Westminster, the system is still failing. Now, survivors are rising again.

1VAA

Who We Are

1VAA is a national advocacy and safeguarding organisation supporting victims failed by police, social services, and the family courts.
We combine lived experience with professional expertise in domestic abuse, coercive control, child protection and evidence analysis.

Where other organisations can only listen, we intervene — building evidence, challenging unsafe decisions, protecting children, and fighting for justice when the system does not.

We are the voice victims are denied.
We are the team that acts when others won’t.

One Voice. One Fight. One mission — justice.

Protect Children in Unsafe Contact – Act Before It’s Too Late

Every day, victims and children reach out to us because they have nowhere else to turn. Many come after the police have dismissed them, after social services have minimised risk, after the family court has silenced their truth. Your support allows us to step in at the very moment the system stops listening — to gather evidence, protect children from harm, challenge unsafe decisions, and fight for the justice they deserve. 1VAA receives no government funding. Everything we do — from safeguarding interventions to legal evidence work, from crisis advocacy to national reform — is powered entirely by people who believe that victims and children deserve safety, dignity and protection. Your donation directly funds urgent case work, emergency interventions, relocation support, professional reports, child safeguarding, and the campaigns that are forcing national change. Every contribution, large or small, helps keep families safe and holds failing systems to account. Together, we can protect those who are still unheard. Together, we can save lives.

We need your help

To Protect Victims. Protect Children. Change the System.

Every day across the UK, victims of domestic abuse, stalking and child harm are being failed by the very systems meant to protect them. Children are forced into unsafe contact. Victims are dismissed, disbelieved or blamed. Cases are closed when danger is clear. 1VAA steps in where the system breaks down — providing advocacy, safeguarding intervention, evidence analysis and urgent support when nobody else will act.

Your support helps us:
• challenge unsafe decisions
• protect children from harm
• escalate failures to senior bodies
• fund evidence reviews and legal support
• campaign for national reform

We cannot do this without you. Their safety depends on it.

Find a Cause to Support

Your support protects victims, safeguards children, and fuels the work that changes the system. Choose the cause you believe in and make an impact where it matters most.

Resolute: Zero Tolerance For Domestic Abuse

Voices of Those We Support

Real stories of safety, support, and lives changed through 1VAA’s work.

“Before I found 1VAA, I felt completely alone. The police dismissed my evidence, social services didn’t understand the coercive control, and I was losing hope of keeping my children safe. 1VAA stepped in, built a chronology, challenged every failure, and helped me present evidence that finally made the court listen. I’m not sure we would be here today without them. They gave me my voice back.”

Sarah M., Litigant in Person (Domestic Abuse & Child Safeguarding Case)
“I work with many organisations, but 1VAA stands out for their depth of understanding and uncompromising focus on safeguarding. They bring structure to chaotic cases, provide accurate risk assessments, and ensure victims are supported with trauma-informed care. Their attention to detail and commitment to accountability make them an essential partner in complex domestic abuse and child-protection cases.”

Dr. Jane Whitfield, Consultant Psychologist & Trauma Specialist (Supplier of Services)
“Partnering with 1VAA has transformed the way we approach high-risk cases. Their evidence analysis, advocacy, and escalation pathways have protected families who were previously slipping through the cracks. They are fearless, strategic, and deeply compassionate. When other agencies say ‘nothing more can be done,’ 1VAA steps in and proves that something can.”

Emily Foster, Director, Safe Futures Network (Partner Organisation)
