    2. Exclusion orders

    3. Exclusion orders

    4. Are women using exclusion orders? No – 1% (34) of family cases we looked at No - 19 women in contact with local women’s aid groups 2008/09 How many granted ? 13 of the 34 cases 17 of the 19 women’s aid service users

    5. Why are women not using exclusion orders? No need – cohabitees (house in their name only) Didn’t know they could (13 women of 20) Couldn’t find/afford a lawyer Legal difficulties

    6. Legal difficulties Corroboration (back to how do you prove the conduct, how do you prove conduct injurious) Special bail conditions (how do you prove exclusion orders and powers of arrest necessary) Interim hearing Is the law really focused on protection? “how am I supposed to decide who should live in the house?”

    7. Why do women leave the home? Safety – “can the law keep me safe” Homeless services - more straightforward Can’t afford the home Lots of information focuses on moving Leaving abuser = Leaving home
