Running annually from the November 25 to December 10, the national White Ribbon campaign aims to stop domestic violence whilst raising awareness of the issues involved. This year, Suffolk Constabulary is launching a new project aimed at changing the behaviours of domestic abuse offenders whilst highlighting support and services available to victims and survivors.

The Constabulary supports action to make it clear that domestic violence and abuse should never be condoned or tolerated. Anyone can suffer from domestic abuse or sexual violence – age, gender, social status, race or religion are no barrier. Raising awareness of this 'hidden harm' is a priority for police and partners.
