Domestic abuse is a priority
Tackling domestic abuse is a key priority for Durham Police and we work with many other agencies under community safety partnerships to prevent domestic abuse, to support victims and their families and to tackle those that commit this abuse.
 
Where can I find help and support?
There are organisations within County Durham and Darlington that can help and support you or someone you know regardless of gender and sexuality.
We understand that the first call is a big step.
 
Your call will be dealt with confidentially and sensitively, you do not have to face your problems alone.
