We're sorry but a problem has occurred. The developers have been notified and will investigate as soon as possible.
Together, we're supporting domestic abuse charities through our Community Champions scheme.
As the country goes through uncertain times, we're helping charities that have seen an increase in demand for their vital services.
It can be tricky to recognise domestic abuse as many survivors try and hide it. But it’s important to look out for the signs so you can give them a helping hand.
Domestic abuse can take the form of either: physical, sexual, psychological or financial abuse within an intimate or family type relationship which forms a pattern of coercive and controlling behaviour.
This can include forced marriage, so-called ‘honour-based abuse’ and domestic abuse in the LGBT+ community.
It may also include a range of abusive behaviours, not all of which include physical violence.
Many people assume that they are not experiencing domestic abuse, if they have never been physically assaulted. However, this is not true. You don’t need bruises to be abused! Usually the most damaging effect of domestic abuse is the emotional impact that abuse has on a person.
What are the signs to look out for?
