Understanding False Allegations: Why I'm Running This Workshop, and Why It Matters More Than Ever

When I wrote Nothing But The Truth, I thought I was writing one book about one experience. I wasn't ready for how many men would message me afterwards saying "this is my story too."

That's the thing about false allegations. From the outside, it looks like a rare and extreme situation. From the inside, if you've lived it, or you work with someone who has, you know it's happening far more often than anyone talks about. And when it happens, most men have no idea where to turn.

That's why I'm running Workshop Two.

Understanding False Allegations: What You Need To Know

Saturday 19 September 2026. 100 places. Three hours, live, not recorded.

This isn't a lecture where you sit and listen. It's a room where the questions that never get a straight answer anywhere else finally get one. The ones people are too afraid to ask in front of a solicitor. The ones that don't fit neatly into a support group. The ones I get asked privately, over and over, that I want to answer properly, in one place, once.

Why this date matters

I've timed this deliberately. It's 10 days after International Falsely Accused Day on 9 September, a day I know well because I know its founder, Lyn, personally. Running this workshop right after IFAD means we're building on a moment when the country is already paying attention, not trying to create one from nothing.

The 100 Strong pledge

Here's what I'm committing to. If all 100 places sell, I will personally take this workshop, and everything it represents, to every press outlet I can reach.

Not "if things go well." A guarantee.

A sold out room of 100 people, 10 days after International Falsely Accused Day, isn't just a nice turnout. It's proof. It's the kind of evidence that makes it much harder for national media to treat this as a niche issue affecting a handful of people. It's how this conversation gets bigger than the room it starts in.

That's why every ticket booked between now and 19 September isn't just a seat. It's part of building a case that this matters to enough people that the country needs to hear it.

What you'll get from three hours

I built this workshop the same way I built Workshop One on domestic abuse against men, which one lawyer in attendance told me was the most thorough and honest professional training she'd been to. Real experience, straightforward answers, and space to ask what you actually need to ask.

Whether you're a professional working in family law, a support worker, someone who's lived through a false allegation yourself, or someone who loves a person who has, this workshop is built for you.
