The Lincolnshire Domestic Abuse Partnership is supporting a national campaign against domestic abuse on 25 November.
On White Ribbon Day the partnership will come together to talk about progress that has been made in Lincolnshire in tackling domestic abuse. It will also consider how it can do more to encourage victims to come forward and reduce offending.
Tony McGinty, chair of the Domestic Abuse Partnership, says: “There is some outstanding work taking place in Lincolnshire to tackle domestic abuse.
“By working with our partners we have been able to raise awareness of physical, emotional, sexual and financial abuse and encourage victims to get help from an early stage.
“We are now working closely with GPs to direct patients to support services if they need them, with schools to help educate young people about what a healthy relationship is and with survivors of domestic abuse to improve the services we offer.
“Practitioners have also received training to improve outcomes for service users and their families.
“At this annual conference we will be discussing how we can make further improvements in 2015 to respond early and prevent domestic abuse.”
Please show your support for victims by wearing a White Ribbon on 25 November.
