Which side of history are YOU on?

Behavioural insights are findings from research in the field of behavioural science (which encompass disciplines such as psychology, sociology and economics) that provide evidence about why we behave in certain ways, and what can be done to influence the decisions that we make.
The focus is not so much on conscious decisions that involve weighing up the pros and cons of different decisions but more on behaviours that are more subconscious or automatic.
Behavioural change models used in many effective social marketing programmes generally concentrate on conscious (or rational) decision making. Behavioural insights, on the other hand, apply our understanding of how people’s behaviour can be subconsciously affected by factors such as the media, our preference for the status quo, and our tendency to do nothing rather than act.
When we think we understand an issue, it's often easier for us to filter out any new information which might challenge our initial beliefs. Especially if that belief is repeatedly endorsed by media coverage and vocalised by those in power and influence whom we might fairly assume had done their 'due diligence' and read up on ALL the facts to inform their position.
In the case of our new 'landmark' Domestic Abuse Bill, it's crystal clear that this is not the case. Many involved have been caught up in a falsehood which has been so often repeated and amplified by media articles - that the real truth has been obfuscated, distorted and kept hidden.
We could, of course, shrug our collective shoulders and imagine it doesn't affect us anyway. That it's not 'our place' to question misleading narrative and certainly not put ourselves in the potential firing line of the extreme vitriol and relentless abuse which inevitably follows.
It's the easier option.
Let's remain quiet. Not rock the boat. Let someone else stick their head above the parapet. It'll pass.
BUT what if I told you children are being seriously psychologically harmed by this false narrative. Loving, safe mothers and fathers too. Their lives forever wrecked by falsehood which has no place in an evidence-driven, compassionate, and equal society.
Take your pick from the stories of adults alienated as children.

4 年DCF IS using PAS tactics to shred families apart instead of resources with in home supports. We have consistently over 80% success rate of keeping kids in the home or reuniting them had they been separated prior to our involvement.
