We suggest mandatory, ongoing and accountable training very specifically on coercive control, on trauma- and violence-informed practice, and on systemic bias for police, Crown attorneys and judges. It can't be optional. It has to be mandatory. It has to include accountability measures to ensure that it's actually being applied in practice. That's at a high level for police, Crown attorneys and judges, but it can be as young as elementary school. It can be as simple as healthy relationships. That can be taught very easily and put into the curriculum. Again, I know that this is federal and it would be provincial.
An exact example of a program we do here from the London Abused Women's Centre is Coaching Boys Into Men. Our staff go out and train coaches for high school teams on how to have healthy relationships and how to be good men. It's as simple as that. It can start very young.
