Domestic abuse is defined as an incident or series of incidents of controlling, coercive, or threatening behaviour, violence or abuse.
No one deserves to be subject to domestic abuse or feel unsafe in their home. However, unfortunately, it is not uncommon.
During the year ending March 2024, it was estimated that 2.3 million people or 4.8% of those aged 16 and over had experienced domestic abuse. (The Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW). Of these, a higher percentage of people experienced domestic abuse by a partner or ex-partner (3.2%) compared with a family member (1.9%).
