Domestic abuse is the misuse of power or control in a relationship. It is rarely a one off event.

Anyone can be affected by domestic abuse, including children and relatives.

There are a number of warning signs to indicate this may be happening to you or even someone you know and these warning signs appear on the website.

Domestic abuse is never acceptable but sometimes tackling it may seem impossible.
