Restricting access to money, bank accounts and the right to earn an income are a few of the many and varied forms of financial abuse, often accompanied by other types of domestic violence.

Sadly it’s estimated that one in six people in the UK are dealing with this deeply distressing method of coercive control.  

In this episode Felicity Hannah hears from some of those affected and about the organisations ready to help including:

Dr Nicola Sharp-Jeffs, founder and CEO, of the charity Surviving Economic Abuse (SEA)
Cris McCurley Partner & Solicitor at Ben Hoare Bell.


Producer Smita Patel 
Editor Emma Rippon

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
