The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service is committed to delivering a trauma-informed service by listening to survivors and those with lived experience of violence against women and children.
Hannah Clarke died alongside her three children - Aaliyah, six, Laianah, four and Trey, three – after being doused in petrol and burned alive in their car on 19 February 2020.
The 31-year-old mum had separated from her ex-husband in the months leading up the murder, after being verbally abused, monitored and coercively controlled throughout their relationship.
Following the tragic deaths in Queensland, Hannah’s loved ones set up the Small Steps 4 Hannah charity in a bid to educate the public about domestic abuse and to help other victims.
Friend and charity ambassador Dave Kramer now honours the memories of Hannah and her children by speaking about gender-based violence prevention.
The behavioural psychologist was invited to meet COPFS senior leaders and justice partners in October.
Following the seminar, Dr Emma Forbes, National Lead for Domestic Abuse, said: "We are incredibly grateful to Mr Kramer for taking the time to meet with us.
“Our thoughts remain with all those who knew and love Hannah and her children.
“At COPFS, we recognise the devastating impact domestic abuse and gender-based abuse can have on those affected.
“We will continue to work with partners across the criminal justice sector to improve the experiences of victims in Scotland.
“This includes developing our understanding by listening to victims and those with lived experience.
“I would encourage anyone who has been the victim of such offending to report it. You will be listened to and supported as we seek to secure justice."
Dave Kramer added: “I think Scotland is doing more to tackle domestic violence than a lot of other places around the world.
“But as a society, I think we all need to do more. I think that’s where the challenge is.
“We can have all the legislation in the world, and while it may save some lives, it’s not going to save all of them.
“We need more people in the community to understand what contributes to these belief systems that support violence and to take a role in preventing it.”
