Domestic violence
Advanced telecare solutions that enable victims of domestic violence to quickly raise an alert and receive timely support when required, will be key to enforcing new proposals for tackling cases of domestic violence, according to the leading provider of telecare and telehealth solutions Tunstall Healthcare.
Recent proposals announced by Home Secretary Theresa May recommend that people suspected of abusing a partner should be banned from visiting the family home for up to four weeks. Telecare can play a vital role in keeping victims safe and more secure during this time and beyond, enabling them to feel better protected at home.
Tunstall's Lifeline home units and range of telecare sensors have been used for several years across the UK by those at risk of domestic abuse, and have provided a practical and effective response to ensure the safety and wellbeing of victims and their children. The units are equipped with a recording device that can let police know what is happening in the house without the victim having to communicate directly. This data can be used as evidence if a case goes to court.
