In this episode, Sarah and Lesley speak with Dr Louise Harvey-Golding and Carrie Phillips (both University of Sunderland) about their research exploring the experiences of Eastern European women. Whilst the research did not set out to explore domestic abuse, it came up as an important area of concern, particularly in relation to a lack of access to services for Eastern European women. In this episode, Louise and Carrie talk to us about their research findings and recommendations for practice.
