A campaign called No Bad Treatment is expanding to East Yorkshire with an aim to educate health and beauty industry professionals on how to recognize signs of domestic abuse in their clients. The initiative, created by young people aged 16-25 from The Warren Youth Project in Hull, has already seen over 60 professionals sign up since its launch in January 2023.
Councillor Leo Hammond from East Riding of Yorkshire Council emphasized the importance of addressing domestic abuse and its prevalence in society. The goal is to educate individuals who are in a position to recognize the signs of abuse and provide appropriate support to victims, potentially reducing the number of times they seek assistance.
The campaign will be launched with an online event on Tuesday, April 16, featuring representatives from The Warren Youth Project, the Domestic Violence and Abuse Partnership, and Rachel Williams, founder of Stand Up to Domestic Abuse. Interested individuals can sign up for the event online. For more news from East Yorkshire, follow BBC East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire on social media.
