PCC John Campion said: “Domestic abuse victims are facing an additional worry at the thought of being told to spend every day at home for the foreseeable future.

"There are a number of things we can all be doing to help these people (such as) providing your number to be a friendly ear.
"Support services are still available to provide support online or on the phone, so I am imploring victims to speak out if they can and seek help.”
The PCC is also encouraging victims to consider alternative places of safety for them to stay.
