  Domestic Abuse

  • Dear partners,
    

    As I’m sure you are aware, domestic abuse is of increasing concern during the lockdown period of the current coronavirus crisis.
    

    There has been lot of information circulated over the last week or so from a variety of agencies.  We have tried to collate that local information in one place for ease of reference and so that we can keep you informed of all the most up to date information, advice and resources.

     

    We have created a dedicated page on our existing website to host this information: https://www.hants.gov.uk/socialcareandhealth/hantsdomesticabuse/information-and-updates

    And links to this page have also been placed in a banner at the top of our usual homepage(https://www.hants.gov.uk/socialcareandhealth/domesticabuse)  , the pages for victims and perpetrators of abuse and also the professionals (HDAP) web page.

  • Coronavirus: New domestic abuse helpline for Hampshire

    A Hampshire charity has set up a new domestic abuse helpline for victims after seeing an increase in calls across the country.

    The National Domestic Abuse service has seen a 25% rise in calls since lockdown measures were introduced to combat the coronavirus pandemic.

    This prompted Shonagh Dillon, CEO of Portsmouth charity Aurora New Dawn, to set up a new helpline for people in her county.
