Derbyshire police to hold live chat to answer resident's questions about abuse

A team of detectives and partners from The Elm Foundation – a domestic abuse charity – will host a live chat in the evening on Wednesday, July 14 between 8 to 9pm.

Officers will be available to answer questions residents have about abuse and anyone who wants to ask something about domestic abuse, controlling and coercive behaviour, stalking or harassment is encouraged to do so.

The force labelled the discussion a safe space to give people confidence to come forward and access information about the signs of abuse.

Police also confirmed that questions can be asked anonymously and replied to privately where needed.

To join the discussion, go to https://www.sli.do/ and use event code #YouAreNotAlone.

Anyone who cannot make the session can contact officers by calling 101, sending them a private message on Facebook or Twitter or by completing an online contact form.
