Victims urged not to suffer in silence
Published: 05/12/2018
VICTIMS of domestic abuse, with nowhere to go, have been encouraged to put an end to their suffering by contacting Copeland Council.
Domestic abuse incidents almost treble over the Christmas period, with 617 incidents recorded in West Cumbria during December 2017.
The council has provided specialist help and support to 37 victims of domestic abuse through its Prevention and Crisis Support Officer since the role was introduced in January 2018.
The service users were all homeless or at risk of homelessness.
