Domestic abuse support
Domestic abuse affects the whole family. Don't suffer in silence, talk to someone that can help.
In an emergency, always dial 999
Remember:
- Domestic violence and abuse can be actual or threatened and can happen once every so often or on a regular basis
- It can happen to anyone, in all kinds of relationships
- People suffer domestic abuse regardless of their social group, class, age, race, disability, sexuality or lifestyle
- The abuse can begin at any time – in new relationships or after many years together
- Children are affected by domestic abuse both in the short and long term
