West Mercia Police have launched a campaign tackling domestic abuse during the World Cup
The NSPCC has warned “hundreds of thousands of children could be at risk” as the Qatar World Cup kicks off on Sunday. West Mercia Detective Superintendent Jon Roberts said: “We know that domestic abuse isn’t solely connected to football but we do know there is an increase in incidents throughout major tournaments."
"However, this is also a time where some people in West Mercia will live in fear. Sadly, there is a correlation between England losing a game of football and an increase in domestic violence - I say to perpetrators there is never an excuse to be violent.
