The partners which make up the Safer Cornwall initiative got together to raise awareness of domestic abuse in all its forms by holding a series of events across the county.
Staged during Domestic Abuse Week, the drop-in sessions were launched at Tolvaddon Fire Station and included an event held at Falmouth Age UK Day Centre.
The week celebrated the effective partnership working between the public, private and voluntary sector organisations across Cornwall, the primary aim of which is to continually improve community safety across the county.
Safer Cornwall partners provided information on the range of services they offer and how they can support individuals who may know of someone experiencing domestic abuse or those who are experiencing it themselves.
This year Safer Cornwall’s focus for Domestic Abuse Awareness week was people aged over 60 as older people experiencing domestic abuse can face particular barriers to accessing appropriate support services and so it is important to raise awareness of the specific needs of such victims.
