Partnership strategy launched to tackle domestic and sexual abuse in West Yorkshire

    West Yorkshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner, Mark Burns-Williamson, has launched a plan with partners to continue helping victims of domestic abuse and sexual violence.

    On average West Yorkshire Police deal with 6 incidents of domestic abuse every hour.

    The West Yorkshire Domestic and Sexual Abuse Strategy focuses on five key areas - partnership working, preventing violence and abuse, provision of services, support for survivors and pursuing perpetrators.

    It focuses on victim support and partnership working to tackle and prevent crimes as well as recognising links to other crimes including female genital mutilation (FGM), child sexual exploitation (CSE) and human trafficking.
