I want to speak on an element around domestic violence relating to the allocation for specialist training. I would like to see a percentage of expenses charged under subsection 2(a) to be ring-fenced for specialist training on financial abuse detection. TASC's financial abuse programme has successfully trained in excess of 500 professionals, but without dedicated resources, we risk the FSPO missing critical warning signs vis-à-vis domestic violence.
