If you do one thing today for #InternationalEconomicAbuseAwarenessDay & #16DaysOfActivism, then make it sharing this video. The more people understand #EconomicAbuse, the more we can work together to stop perpetrators and help survivors to find support and safety. #KnowItNameIt

Please share the #Streetsafe tool far and wide. The data provided will help us to further inform our community safety activities.
Our new #StreetSafe tool will help people anonymously flag areas they don't feel safe.
We have launched the tool with @PoliceChiefs to help police identify areas that need improving & make the streets safe for everyone, particularly women & girls.

#DomesticAbuse has many forms. A large barrier to getting help and support for survivors is understanding what abuse is.
My Support Space has free interactive guides to help you recognise the signs of abuse.

We work with all communities to aim for zero tolerance to hate crime but not all hate crime gets reported. If we don’t know about it, we can’t tackle it. Your report might prevent it happening to someone else.

“County lines” means criminal gangs selling drugs via dedicated mobile phone. They use children and vulnerable adults to carry drugs and money. They can set up shop in a vulnerable person’s home. This is called “cuckooing”. See our website for more info: dc.police.uk/countylines

This #NationalHCAW we want to talk about disability hate crime.
It can have a profound effect on people’s lives. It’s not anti-social behaviour so we need to make sure we identify and record it for what it is.

We’re sharing a series of animations to help children spot online danger and ask them to talk to someone if they’re worried. Offenders use social media, chat apps or chat functions in online games. We want to keep children safe. More info👉 dc.police.uk/looksus #LookSusTellUs

Just because someone knows a few basic details about you, it doesn't mean they are genuine. Fraudsters regularly use personal information to build trust and believability.
Criminals can spoof numbers to impersonate well-known organisations. If you’re suspicious, hang up.
Safer Devon retweeted
Unsure whether someone on the phone claiming to be your bank or police is genuine? Hang up, wait a minute, then call your bank/police on a known number to verify their identity.

Illegal money lenders are preying on the financially vulnerable. They lend money then charge extortionate interest often with threats and violence. For free, impartial money advice visit the Money Advice Service soc.devon.cc/mUghC
