Don’t lose it all for football!
Did you know that domestic abuse increases by a third during major football tournaments?
West Yorkshire Police are urging fans not to ‘lose it all’ for football after receiving a worryingly high volume of calls relating to domestic abuse incidents during major tournaments.
During the previous tournaments, Euro 2012 and the World Cup 2014, the police saw domestic abuse increase by a third and received an average of 110 calls per England game.
If you are worried about your own behavior or have been abusive in the past, it is never too late to get help.
