There is no excuse for domestic abuse or rape and sexual assault.

More information has been added to the ‘this is not an excuse’ website.

Designed by Avon and Somerset Police the website to raise awareness of domestic abuse, rape and serious sexual assault and to signpost to organisations that provide help and support.

The concept originated from a Scottish Rape Crisis campaign and has since been evolved by Avon and Somerset Police, Safer Bristol and the Police and Crime Commissioner for Avon and Somerset.

Rape, sexual assault and domestic abuse are very serious crimes. It is a priority to protect adults and children who are at risk.

The website gives general information, as well as guidance on help and support you may need to make the decision that is right for you.
