The Jersey Safeguarding Partnership Board (JSPB) launched their Domestic Abuse Strategy for 2019-2022 in April this year: The strategy aims over the next three years to keep more Islanders safe through three strands of work focused on prevention, protection and provision. It is estimated that one in four women and one in six men will experience domestic abuse at some point in their lifetime. Similarly, the impact of such abuse upon the lives of the children living in such environments cannot be underestimated. Domestic abuse is a complex and challenging issue which can wreck lives and devastate families.<\/p>\n
