How this site works
Community Safety Partnerships, made up of the police, local authorities, NHS, voluntary sector organisations, housing associations and other bodies to encourage victims and third parties of domestic violence and abuse to report incidents, either through this site, or to get help from a qualified adviser who can offer a range of support if victims are not confident enough at the time to report straight away, they could also be with you to use the reporting tool on this site.

All reports and contacts with advisers will be treat in the strictest confidence, with victims and third parties having the option to remain anonymous if they wish to send a report.

Each report automatically will generate a random number which you can keep as record of proof that you sent a report, and if necessary this can be matched up with the recipient. There is no limit to how many times you can use the service.

IMPORTANT – if you have been the victim of a violent
attack and are injured, please seek medical attention, this is
not a 999 service, although we endeavour to act on all
information received within 24 hours or in accordance with
your wishes as specified in the report.
