March marks Domestic Violence month and friends of victims of domestic violence in Doncaster are being urged to report offences under a new advertising campaign which has been launched by the Home Office.  

Friends of victims of domestic violence are being urged to report offences under a new advertising campaign launched by the Government, the start of Domestic Violence month in the Yorkshire and Humber region.

Doncaster Police has expressed its determination to tackle domestic violence with the introduction of a new strategy to prioritise the way in which domestic violence is investigated, and which sends a clear message to abusers across the borough.

Funding from the Home Office has already resulted in a 30% reduction of domestic violence reports in Doncaster over the past 5 months, and South Yorkshire Police is prepared to take a hard line to keep families safe in 2007.

Doncaster’s Domestic Violence Party was established in 1993. A multi agency representation from within the statutory and voluntary sector it set out to, and continues to, work to a formal constitution, which reflects its aims and working practice.
