She worked across many frontline services including courts, police stations, housing services and community support programmes helping women navigate some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

Syreeta describes working with increasingly complex cases supporting women facing domestic abuse alongside issues such as addiction, housing instability and mental health challenges.
