RegisterDomestic Violence
Northumbria Police is warning people who are violent in the home that they face a bleak Christmas period.
In its winter campaign "Domestic Violence - It's a Crime", the force is taking a tough stance against offenders while urging victims to come forward and report abuse.
The number of reported incidents of domestic violence traditionally rises over the festive period when levels of stress, alcohol and debt all increase.
Now the force is working with partners to highlight the support available for victims and encouraging people to report what is happening so action can be taken. Helplines are being promoted for both victims and offenders.
Help is available at the touch of a button or by picking up the phone. Details of contacts and more advice is available by clicking on the links below.
