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:
Public Health reports increase in flu-like illnesses
Cabinet Office spent more than £92k on North and West Area Plan inquiry last summer
MHK fears former MHK's meat plant role creates 'transparency issue'
Half of Island's public access defibrillators back in use thanks to charity
