If you have been sexually assaulted, then we really want to encourage you to get in touch with our local Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC).
In Doncaster, this service is provided by Hackenthorpe Lodge which can be accessed by clicking here.
What is abuse?
Domestic abuse is a pattern of behaviour on the part of the abuser designed to control their partner. It can happen at any point in a relationship, including after you have split up.
Anyone forced to change their behaviour because they are frightened of their partner or ex-partner’s reaction is experiencing abuse.
Domestic abuse can happen to anyone, regardless of gender, background, age, religion, sexuality or ethnicity. However, statistics show most domestic abuse is carried out by men and experienced by women.
Domestic abuse is never the fault of the person who is experiencing it.
Domestic abuse is a crime.
