We're pleased to support this campaign. Everyone coming into contact with people experiencing domestic abuse - whether it's Police, GPs, social workers or Housing professionals - should have the awareness, confidence and training to ask, listen and respond.
#AskAndTakeAction is kindly supported by a range of charities and other experts who have come together to call for the Domestic Abuse Bill to ensure all public services ask about domestic abuse.
