Domestic abuse
If you are in any danger right now, call 999 or 999BSL.
Domestic Abuse can be violence or the threat of violence, verbal, physical or psychological abuse.
If your partner demands to know where you’ve been, hits, slaps, kicks or punches you, threatens you with violence or criticises you, you may be in an abusive relationship.
If you think you’re in an abusive relationship, help is available.
You can call the National Domestic Abuse Helpline 24 hours a day on 0808 2000 247.
