Domestic Abuse: information from the police

With the current shielding and self-isolation in place for some families it is important that those who now have to live with domestic abuse in their lives are made aware they won’t be forgotten and we will still continue to support them.

Domestic Abuse leaflet from the police

Victims of Domestic Abuse: You are not alone

We are acutely aware conronavirus will have a serious impact on women, children and men who already face domestic abuse in their homes.

Fears over jobs, financial pressure, school closures, working from home and all the other current changes to our day to day lives are likely to result in an increase in domestic abuse.

We do not want you to suffer in silence. As the situation changes daily, we want to ensure you feel you have someone there who can help.

If you are in immediate danger you should call 999 or call the police on 101.
