Domestic Violence
Domestic abuse can happen to anyone. There is never an excuse for it, no matter what your circumstances are. We encourage you to seek help, please find more information below.
Emergency advice: If you are in immediate danger call 999 and ask for the police.
If you are unable to speak and on a mobile, press 55 when asked and the call handler will ask you questions that you can just reply yes or no. On a landline leave the phone off the hook and the police will try and trace you.
