An online quiz as part of the campaign known as ‘Is this love?’ was launched this week by the Devon-based domestic abuse service, Stop Abuse for Everyone (SAFE), in a bid to raise awareness about the ranging aspects of domestic abuse, from physical to financial to emotional.

After carrying out research, it was discovered that the Devon and Cornwall police responded to 26,149 accounts of domestic abuse across the region in 2012.

The quiz will run until Monday February 18 2013, and has been described by Clarie Brown, a representative of SAFE, as “a simple and accessible resource to help people analyse their relationships with partners, friends and family members”.

If you’re concerned for yourself or a friend, it only takes a few minutes to take the quiz.

Help and support is available from the Devon Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0345 155 1074 and further advice can be sought from www.adva.org.uk
