🌿 About The Coercive Control Entrapment Timeline (CCET)
Who We Are
The Coercive Control Entrapment Timeline (CCET) has been developed by Eleanor Laidlaw Brown, a registered midwife, health visitor, trauma-informed practitioner and researcher, with over a decade of experience supporting women and families impacted by coercive control and domestic abuse.
Rooted in both lived professional practice and doctoral research, CCET offers a trauma-informed framework for recognising the hidden patterns of coercive control — particularly during pregnancy, birth, and the early parenting period. This unique timeline model bridges research, clinical insight, and practitioner needs, helping professionals respond confidently and safely.
Our Mission
Our mission is to transform professional understanding of coercive control.
We aim to provide:
- Clear, research-based frameworks to recognise entrapment and harm
- Practical tools for frontline practice
- Trauma-informed, CPD-accredited training for practitioners and organisations
- Resources that strengthen safeguarding, enquiry, and risk assessment
The Parent Organisation
CCET is part of Keiko Learning and Consultancy Ltd, a trauma-informed training and consultancy company dedicated to supporting professionals across health, safeguarding, social care, education and legal sectors.
Why CCET Was Created
Despite growing awareness of coercive control, many professionals still face challenges in identifying patterns that don’t involve physical violence.
Women experiencing coercive control during the perinatal period often remain unseen or misunderstood. The CCET model was created to make the invisible visible - providing professionals with a structured way to understand how coercive control develops, escalates, and entraps.
