A new approach to tackling domestic abuse, backed by Cleveland Police and Crime Commissioner, is looking to work with a charity committed to stopping domestic abuse at source. 

A series of mystery shopper visits carried out across pubs, bars and clubs in Cleveland to test staff’s knowledge of the ‘Ask for Angela’ scheme have had a promising result. 

A new Tess-wide strategy to tackle violence against women and girls (VAWG) has been launched by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner. 

The soon-to-be-published Tees-wide Perpetration Strategy will make sure domestic abuse perpetrators are held to account for violence and abuse committed against women and girls (VAWG).
