Domestic abuse

In an emergency

In an emergency, when you or someone you know is at risk of immediate harm, call 999. If you cannot speak, press 55 when you are prompted and listen for more instructions. You'll be able to conduct your whole call in silence if needed.

Domestic abuse can happen to anyone including partners, ex-partners and family members, regardless of sexuality or gender orientation, race, background or upbringing.

Domestic abuse is an incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive, threatening, degrading or violent behaviour, including sexual violence.
