Domestic abuse is an important issue that can affect anyone, and everyone deserves access to information and support.

Thanks to funding from the Police and Crime Commissioner, we've created a series of videos to raise awareness of domestic abuse within the Deaf community. Through these conversations, we hope to increase understanding, support victims and survivors, and help tackle domestic abuse in our community.

🎥 Watch our first video as part of our Signs of Safety series, to learn more about the project and why these discussions matter.

If you are experiencing domestic abuse, or you're concerned about a friend, family member or colleague, please reach out.

Last Thursday, our leadership team came together for a Strategy Day to discuss the aims, priorities and goals for each department over the coming months and years.
