Domestic Violence
FREE LEGAL ADVICE SERVICE LAUNCHES FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS DOMESTIC abuse victims are being thrown a legal lifeline in the form of a brand new free 24:7 service from local solicitors
- Every minute in the U.K. police receive a call to a victim of domestic violence.
- That means more than 1,300 calls per day
- 1 in 3 women at some point in their lives will experience domestic abuse!
Domestic violence is any form of-
- Physical
- Emotional
- Psychological
- And financial abuse
Which takes place within the context of a close/intimate relationship.
Domestic violence cuts across all classes and knows no boundaries
It also affects men and women and of course the children who live within the household.
Stevenage police have a dedicated domestic violence officer PC Ian Thompson
who can offer advice on options open to a victim and explain what help is available. No pressure will be placed on any person to pursue criminal prosecutions.
The office hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm
The contact numbers are
Direct line 01438 757668
Appointments can be made within these hours or advice can be given by phone. Many details of other agencies can be supplied to you who may be able to assist you further.
It is important that victims report to agencies so that if evidence of their abuse is required at a later stage then this may be produced. Too many victims do not do this and then when the evidence is required there is very little to support their allegations.
If you feel that you cannot attend and speak to the domestic violence officer due to work hours etc. then you may choose to e-mail the officer and request a reply that way.
All e-mails will be replied to within seven working days wherever possible.
ALL INFORMATION SUPPLIED BY YOU IS CONFIDENTIAL.
