The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) is urging victims of domestic abuse, and people who suspect that friends and family members might be suffering at the hands of an abusive partner while COVID-19 restrictions are in place, to speak out.

The ongoing focus remains on preventing repeat victimisation and closely managing serious offenders.
