More than 700 referrals to domestic abuse support service in Jersey this year
More than 700 referrals have been made to Jersey's Domestic Abuse Support service since the beginning of the year.
Of those, 361 were classed as at "significant risk of harm".
These figures are one of the main reasons a new three year domestic abuse strategy has begun, alongside Jersey's annual domestic abuse prevention campaign.
Last year's theme was called 'Would you know it if you saw it?'. This year it is titled 'You've seen the signs - now what?'
The aim is to help those who most need to access the right support.
The issue is estimated to affect one in four women and one in six men, and has different forms including physical, emotional, financial, sexual, online, coercive control and harassment and stalking.
