Dudley Council in conjunction with safe & sound, Dudley Safeguarding Children Board and Dudley Safeguarding Adults Board has launched a new campaign to encourage people to tell the local authority or the police if they are concerned about someone. The campaign has been created in light of recent high profile cases such as baby Peter, Khyra Ishaq and Victoria Climbié.

 

Vulnerable people, including children, living with domestic abuse can often become invisible and suffer in silence. Children are often described as the 'forgotten victims' of domestic abuse.
National statistics show children are in the same or the next room in 90 per cent of incidents.
