Victim Support yet to see increase in calls for help
A charity offering support to victims expects the number of calls about domestic abuse will increase once the coronavirus lockdown ends.
The Manx police have reported a 145% increase in domestic abuse, but Victim Support Isle of Man says it hasn't seen a rise in people seeking help.
This month marks the organisation's 21st anniversary on the Island.
Manager Paula Gelling believes the current Covid-19 measures may mean some are unable to ask for help at the moment:
'Unprecedented' situation after deemster in Island's first group litigation case resigns
Immigration changes designed to stop exploitation by 'bad eggs'
Plantation wood, telegraph poles and Satnav to be discussed in the House of Keys
Contingency budget for horse tram tracks 'significantly increased'
MHK to seek re-election in Arbory, Castletown and Malew
