Domestic Abuse Week of Action


A Domestic Abuse Protection Order (DAPO) can be used to protect victims and survivors from all types of domestic abuse. 

 

It is a criminal offence if the perpetrator breaches the DAPO, and they can be arrested. 

 

It’s not just police who can apply for a DAPO. Victims or a third party, such as a friend, relative or social worker, can apply too.
