Domestic Abuse can affect anybody.
You. A friend. A family member. A colleague. A client. A neighbour.
The need for household isolation and social distancing due to Covid-19 will put pressure on many relationships and families. Isolation will have an especially significant impact on those experiencing domestic abuse. This unique set of circumstances may also mean that some people experience or use domestic abuse for the first time. Reports from other countries have shown that incidents of domestic
abuse increased significantly following the outbreak, and this is already visible in our national services.
