Domestic Abuse
Tackling Domestic Abuse continues to be a significant priority for the VRU. In order to add further value to the current approaches being taken, an additional project called ‘Ask Me’ will be implemented in Year 3.
The Ask Me Scheme will be delivered across Newcastle, North Tyneside and Northumberland in 2021/22 with the aim of training members of the community to become Ask Me Ambassadors. Tackling domestic abuse is everyone’s business and communities are often the first place victims and survivors reach out for help.
