Justice & Legislation Executive (JLE) & Justice (Victim & Crime) Management Regulation (JVCM)
Real Accountability. Real Compliance. Real Consequences.
For decades, victims of domestic abuse, rape, CSA/CSE, trafficking and violent crime have been failed by the very systems built to protect them.
The laws exist.
The policies exist.
The guidance exists.
Victims still die.
Why?
Because law is not being implemented, upheld, or enforced.
Because there is no accountability.
Because professionals can ignore legislation, training, safeguarding duties and case law — with no consequence.
That ends here.
What Are JLE and JVCM?
The Justice & Legislation Executive (JLE)
A new national framework that merges regulation, oversight, and enforcement across Police, Social Care, Judiciary, CAFCASS, Guardian ad Litem, Medical, Educational and Local Authority professionals.
It ensures:
- Full adherence to criminal and family law
- The rights of victims and children are upheld
- No “professional discretion” to ignore statutory safeguarding
- Non-compliance equals real consequences
The Justice (Victim & Crime) Management Regulation (JVCM)
A practical, structured system to:
- Identify failure
- Intervene
- Correct
- Prevent repeat harm
- Escalate to independent review where professionals obstruct justice
This is not another report.
Not another theory.
Not another “working group.”
It is an enforceable operating model ready for government adoption.
Why Is This Necessary?
Because every major inquiry and every scandal ends the same way:
- Baby P
- Victoria Climbié
- Ellie Butler
- Arthur Labinjo-Hughes
- Star Hobson
- Countless unnamed children still being abused today
Every time, the same excuses:
- “Lessons will be learned.”
- “Training will be improved.”
- “We will do better.”
Then it happens again.
Why?
- No regulation with teeth
- No independent body with authority to remove professionals
- No criminal liability for negligence
- No joined-up safeguarding between agencies
- No consequences for ignoring law
- No protection from corruption, bias, and misogyny
- No national oversight body enforcing standards across the UK
The JLE + JVCM solves that.
The First Point of Systemic Failure
Police.
Over 300 case reviews show the exact same root pattern:
- Evidence ignored
- Victims disbelieved
- No DASH
- No coercive control identification
- Perpetrators supported
- Officers apologising to offenders
- Children’s disclosures dismissed
- Discrimination, bias, misogyny, racism and social prejudice
- Non-molestation breaches ignored
- “Nothing we can do” responses
- Crimes downgraded to “civil matters”
When Police fail, everything else collapses:
- Social care intervene with incorrect assumptions
- Courts are handed biased, contaminated information
- Protective parents lose children
- Perpetrators retain control
- Children remain in danger
- Victims are imprisoned by the system
The JVCM forces compliance with:
- Domestic Abuse Act 2021
- Serious Crime Act 2015 (coercive control)
- Crime & Disorder Act
- PD12J
- Children Act
- Human Rights Act
- ABE standards
- Victims’ Right to Review
- ICO / GDPR evidence handling
If a professional breaks the law, it is recorded, reviewed, escalated and acted upon.
Why Existing Regulators Have Failed
| Regulator | Why They Don’t Work |
|---|---|
| Social Work England | Strikes off after harm, not before. Very few consequences for negligence. |
| Ofsted | Inspects paperwork, not real-time safeguarding failure. |
| IOPC (Police) | Known for burying failures; complaints dismissed without review. |
| Judicial Conduct Investigations Office | Judges rarely held accountable for ignoring law, evidence, or welfare. |
| Cafcass | No regulatory accountability. Children’s voices regularly silenced. |
Professionals who are incompetent, discriminatory, abusive, or corrupt can currently hide inside separate regulatory networks with no shared oversight.
The JLE merges it into ONE system with ONE line of accountability.
What the JLE & JVCM Will Deliver
- Mandatory legal compliance — not “guidance”
- Regulation with the authority to remove professionals
- Criminal accountability where negligence or bias causes harm
- A national database tracking failings and outcomes
- Safe escalation routes for victims and whistleblowers
- Correct application of coercive control and domestic abuse law
- Protection for children at the centre, not the margins
Built From Real Evidence, Not Theory
This model was developed from over 300 live UK cases involving:
- Police failures
- Family court corruption
- Bad practice safeguarding
- Ignored medical and forensic evidence
- Children forced into unsafe contact
- Victims criminalised for trying to protect their children
- Social workers falsifying evidence
- Judges overriding law and welfare
- Perpetrators weaponising parental alienation
- Children raped and abused while courts turned a blind eye
This is why victims need the JLE.
This is why children need the JLE.
This is why the UK needs the JLE.
Where Does 1VAA Fit In?
1VAA is the lead civil-society contributor to the JLE & JVCM, providing:
- Case data
- Evidence analysis

We are not asking for reform.
We are delivering a structural solution.
JLE, JVCM & SSCO: How the Model Works
Justice & Legislation Executive (JLE)
A national framework to finally enforce the law and protect victims and children.
For decades, domestic abuse victims, child victims, and protective parents have suffered because the system does not follow its own legislation. Laws exist, they are simply not applied. There is no regulator with the legal authority to demand compliance, remove dangerous professionals, or intervene when safeguarding fails.
The Justice & Legislation Executive (JLE) is the enforcement mechanism that has never existed before.
Why the JLE Matters
Across the UK and Ireland:
- Police dismiss criminal offences as “civil disputes”
- Family courts minimise evidence and override safeguarding
- PD12J is ignored
- Coercive control laws are rarely applied
- Children are placed with perpetrators
- Social workers use opinion instead of evidence
- Victims are blamed, pathologised or labelled mentally unstable
- Complaints procedures protect professionals, not victims
There is currently no body that enforces the law across agencies.
The JLE changes that.
What the JLE Does
The JLE ensures that every professional and every organisation involved in safeguarding or victim justice:
- Applies the law
- Upholds safeguarding duties
- Follows domestic abuse and coercive control legislation
- Uses evidence, not bias or opinion
- Protects victims and children as the first priority
Powers of the JLE
- Compel cooperation from police, courts, social services and all safeguarding agencies
- Demand evidence, case files and decision pathways
- Mandate corrective action when law is breached
- Remove professionals who act negligently or dangerously
- Escalate criminal negligence
- Report national failings and outcomes publicly
This is regulation with teeth.
The Outcome
- No more ignoring abuse because a professional “doesn’t believe it”
- No more placing children with abusers
- No more “no further action” when evidence exists
- No more silencing victims or dismissing trauma
- No more unaccountable decision-making
The JLE finally makes the system behave lawfully.
Justice (Victim & Crime) Management Regulation (JVCM)
One regulated process. One national safeguarding standard. No more loopholes.
Right now, every agency handles abuse differently. Police, family court, Cafcass, guardians, social workers, schools, medical services, all operate independently with conflicting thresholds and practices. This fragmentation destroys cases, endangers victims and fails children.
The Justice (Victim & Crime) Management Regulation is the operational rulebook for how every case involving domestic abuse, coercive control, stalking, rape, child abuse or sexual exploitation must be handled.
What the JVCM Fixes
Under the current system:
- Evidence is lost or ignored
- Disclosures are mishandled
- Children are disbelieved
- Protective parents are punished
- Perpetrators use agencies to continue control
- Police refuse to investigate
- Social workers minimise risk
- Courts overrule criminal law
The JVCM stops the chaos.
Mandatory Requirements
Every agency must:
- Conduct a DASH Risk Assessment
- Complete an 8-Step-to-Murder review
- Assess pattern of behaviour, not single incidents
- Recognise coercive control as criminal abuse
- Uphold PD12J in family court
- Prioritise children’s safety over contact
- Stop penalising protective parents
- Handle evidence lawfully, transparently and without bias
No professional can dismiss evidence because of personal belief, opinion, or “gut feeling”.
When Agencies Don’t Comply
The JVCM requires immediate escalation to the JLE.
- Decision-making is reviewed
- Evidence is re-examined
- Failures are corrected
- Professionals can be suspended or removed
- Criminal negligence can be pursued
- Cases can be reopened
There is no longer anywhere to hide misconduct or negligence.
Outcome
- Police investigate properly
- Courts cannot ignore safeguarding law
- Social workers cannot minimise risk
- Children are protected
- Victims do not have to fight alone
The JVCM ensures the system does what it claims to do: protect.
Statutory Safeguarding Compliance Officer (SSCO)
The person who makes sure every case is lawful, safe and evidence-led.
Right now, there is no one in the UK or Irish system whose job is to ensure that agencies follow the law when handling abuse, safeguarding or child protection.
That absence is the reason children are handed to abusers, victims are punished, and evidence is ignored.
The Statutory Safeguarding Compliance Officer is the mandatory professional assigned to every serious domestic abuse, child protection and coercive control case.
Who the SSCO Is
A legally trained safeguarding specialist with:
- Expertise in domestic abuse and coercive control
- Training in risk, trauma and victim psychology
- Authority to enforce law and safeguarding thresholds
- Independence from police, courts and social care
They do not answer to any agency — only to the law.
What the SSCO Does
- Reviews evidence and safeguarding risk
- Confirms DASH and 8-Step-to-Murder analysis
- Prevents professional bias and misinformation
- Ensures PD12J and the Children Act are followed
- Intervenes when a case becomes unsafe
- Ensures criminal behaviour is not downgraded as “family conflict”
- Stops protective parents being punished
- Blocks children being placed with known abusers
- Removes obstructive professionals from decision-making
Authority
The SSCO can:
- Demand case files, reports and evidence
- Compel cooperation from any professional or agency
- Refer misconduct, negligence or safeguarding breach
- Escalate dangerous decisions to the JLE
- Request urgent criminal investigation
- Protect whistleblowers and victims
Why It Matters
Every catastrophic failure in safeguarding begins the same way:
- someone ignores the evidence
- someone minimises the risk
- someone believes the abuser
- someone silences the victim
The SSCO is the person who stops it.
Outcome
- Victims are heard
- Evidence is respected
- Children are protected
- Law is upheld
- Failures cannot be hidden
The SSCO ensures that what has been allowed for decades cannot happen again.
