West Sussex County Council sees increase in domestic abuse reports

West Sussex County Council’s Domestic Abuse Service has seen a 24% increase in reports of domestic abuse since the start of lockdown compared to the same time last year.

In response the council has made enhancements to services, to ensure they’re able to meet demand whilst the country is in lockdown.

Support for victims is now available 7 days a week.

Anyone who needs help can call from Monday to Friday, 9.00am-5.00pm on 0330 222 8181 and weekends on 07834 968539
