Domestic violence cases since the introduction of the coronavirus lockdown have risen between 25 – 30%. The restrictions in place prohibit people from leaving their homes for all but essential reasons, which has highlighted the amount of people living with abusive partners, parents or family members.

We offer specialist support to all women, children and men who are affected by domestic abuse. We have a number of refuges across our areas if victims are seeking safe accommodation. Alternatively, we offer specialist advice, counselling services and support within the community
