Stephen O'Shea

Councillor Stephen O'Shea inquired about the measurement of the effectiveness of the new domestic abuse policy and asked how officers would be enabled to identify and engage with people who might not have yet reached the point of self-reporting. He raised concerns about low testing rates and relatively high teenage pregnancy rates in Richmond, and stated that it would be good to have statistics on suicide rates of menopausal and perimenopausal women and to consider a work stream of prevention for that group. The councillor also raised the issue of trauma for those who witness suicides.
