On 29 April 2021 the government enacted the Domestic Abuse Act 2021. This places a duty on Cumberland Council to assess the need for support and prepare strategies to provide services for victims in safe accommodation and to provide domestic abuse survivors with community in-reach services.
Domestic abuse includes:
- coercive control
- emotional abuse
- physical or sexual abuse
- financial abuse
- harassment or stalking
- online abuse
If you or someone you know is at risk or experiencing abuse, help and support is available.
To report: Cumbria police non-emergency call 101 or online. In an emergency always call 999.
