The campaign is designed to raise awareness of different forms of domestic violence over 16 days, with a different theme each day.

Dudley’s community safety partnership, safe & sound has joined with other black country partnerships to highlight the different forms abuse can take and that it can happen to anyone regardless of their age, gender, sexual orientation, race, religion or disability.

The campaign also importantly highlights that children are often the forgotten victims, with national statistics showing that one in five are exposed to domestic abuse.

Support services in the borough are open to anyone who is concerned about domestic abuse including family and friends who are concerned about someone else.
