'Raneem's Law' is a new initiative embedding domestic abuse specialists in 999 control rooms across five police forces to improve victim support. Initiated after the tragic murders of Raneem Oudeh and her mother in 2018, the program, funded with £2.2 million, responds to concerns over past police failures. Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, emphasized the need for systemic change in how emergency services handle domestic abuse cases. Campaigners argue this initiative is crucial not just for saving lives but also for empowering survivors to live safely and with dignity.
Graham Hodson Nour Norris, lead campaigner, said: "This is not just about saving lives, it is also about ensuring that victims who survive have the chance to truly live, free from fear and harm."
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper announced that the move is part of a bid by the Labour Party to 'overhaul' emergency responses by the police to domestic abuse.
