During the COVID-19 pandemic, domestic abuse charities and other organisations are reporting an increase in cases. The Home Office have launched a national campaign to raise awareness of the dedicated support available for victims of domestic abuse.

The NHS website has advice online for the public on spotting the signs for domestic abuse and domestic violence and where to go for help. The NHS also has a help page for those who have been raped or sexually assaulted.
