Stay safe at home - family tensions and domestic abuse

These are challenging times for all families.

There is a risk of an increase in family tensions and for domestic abuse (not just women).

Please do not suffer in silence.   If you or anyone you know is in need of help, please reach out to WOMENS AID, a trusted friend and consider using a code word to communicate safely.
