Stafford: Staffordshire smart alert - How you can help to protect women and girls from violence and intimidation


How you can help to protect women and girls from violence and intimidation by understanding common perpetrator behaviours.

We’re relaunching our Don’t Choose to Abuse campaign today with two new videos aimed at perpetrators of violence and intimidation against women and girls.

For many, the emotional and physical abuse suffered at the hands of perpetrators can have lasting effects. The two videos show how this suffering can affect victims in their everyday life, and are designed to shine a spotlight on the common behaviours displayed by perpetrators to encourage them to change their behaviours.

There is help and support available to those that recognise that they are displaying unhealthy and abusive behaviour within their relationship and are willing to change. If you are worried about your behaviour, or the behaviour of a friend or family member towards women and girls, please reach out to protect women and girls from abuse.

Although this campaign is aimed at offenders, we want to reiterate that protecting and supporting victims is a priority for us. Support services are available for both victims and perpetrators and we will take all reports seriously.

Back in September, we arrested 61 people during a week-long intensification period as part of our commitment to tackling VAIWG. Part of this enforcement saw specialist officers contact more than 45 victims of domestic abuse alongside partner agencies to offer advice and support. We want to continue protecting women and girls by giving them safe routes to report and get vital support.

You can watch the new videos and find out more about our campaign by visiting our website: https://www.staffordshire.police.uk/police-forces/staffordshire-police/areas/staffordshire-police/campaigns/campaigns/dont-choose-to-abuse/

Contact details for victim or perpetrator support:

New Era, the domestic abuse service operating across Staffordshire, offers support to victims, as well as those displaying perpetrator behaviours who want help to change. Call 01785 904770 to speak to someone now.
