Football clubs back police domestic abuse campaign

Posters displaying domestic abuse advice will be put up at football stadiums in a bid to reduce the number of incidents.

Hull City, Grimsby Town and Scunthorpe United have signed up for the campaign which is being led by Jonathan Evison, the police and crime commissioner (PCC) for Humberside.

The signs will challenge abusive people to face up to their actions and seek help to change. Information will also be offered on how to get support and call out inappropriate behaviour.

Evison said data showed incident of domestic abuse increases on matchdays and hoped the move would "encourage more open conversations about harm within the home".
