Hi, I’m Jenn,
I am an economic abuse expert with over 10 years of experience in domestic abuse research and policy.
My consultancy brings together my expertise in economic abuse and domestic abuse research, training, banking and advice across the public and private sectors in the UK.
What is economic abuse?
Economic abuse is a form of domestic abuse in which a partner or ex-partner controls, sabotages or exploits your financial resources. The purpose of economic abuse is to diminish the financial resources and confidence of the victim-survivor and make them entirely dependent on the perpetrator - creating a direct barrier to safety and separation and potential long-term financial insecurity.
Who should care about economic abuse?
The short answer is all of us.
Economic abuse can affect anyone regardless of gender, age, socio-economic background, sexual orientation, religion or ethnicity. It is perpetrated by partners or ex-partners and can involve a variety of systems and institutions.
To recognise and respond effectively, a whole-systems response is required. This includes but is not limited to responses from: specialist domestic abuse services, legal, housing, immigration, banking, education, debt advice, transport and utilities.
