Safe & Sound, Dudley’s Community Safety Partnership, is urging residents to be aware that incidents of domestic abuse can rise around major football matches – and to look out for the signs and know where to get help.
⚽Football should bring us together - but sadly, domestic abuse can increase during major matches.
Research shows incidents rise by 38% when England lose and 26% even when they win.
Domestic abuse isn’t always obvious, and it can happen to men and women.
Tackling domestic abuse is a team effort.
