If coercive control is found, this agency will notify the police for criminal action under the Serious Crimes Act (2015). They will also have powers to apply for a Secrion 91(14) Order under the Children Act (1989). Support and referrals will be offered and provided to the safe parent and children, aiding in their healing process from abuse. This initiative aims to hold perpetrators accountable and deter them from using the court system to perpetuate abuse.

Hospitals shouldn’t deter staff from seeking justice and closure after violence. Staff has a right to prosecute patients who commit violence against them. But, staff should be educated on what to expect if they want to press charges against a patient: -Expectations don’t always line up with reality. -The process is long and may not yield the desired results for the victim. Staff should be supported by security through the entire process- including safety planning and court escorts. Ultimately, the courts will decide what happens to the patient who is prosecuted. Victim support is essential to the healing process and security plays a key coordinating role.
