Today (25/11) is the start of the 16 days of action against domestic abuse campaign.
The campaign is designed to raise awareness of different forms of domestic abuse over 16 days, with a different theme each day.
Dudley’s community safety partnership, safe & sound has joined with other local authorities in the area to highlight the different forms abuse can take and that it can happen to anyone regardless of their age, gender, sexual orientation, race, religion or disability.
This year the campaign also encourages perpetrators to think about their behaviour and importantly remembers those who have lost their lives to domestic abuse.
Dudley’s single point of contact for domestic abuse services is open to anyone who is experiencing domestic abuse including family and friends who are concerned about someone else.
For information on help and support available and the signs to look out for in family and friends who could be in abusive relationships, including translated and easy read guidance visit www.dudleysafeandsound.org/domesticabuse
