Domestic Abuse

If you're afraid of someone who is, or was, close to you, we're here to help.

Spotting the signs:

•  Is your partner, ex-partner or family member jealous and possessive?
• Is s/he charming one minute and abusive the next?
• Are you told what to wear, where to go, who to see?
• Does s/he constantly put you down?
• Does s/he play mind games and make you doubt your judgement?
•  Does s/he control your money, monitor your movements and messages?
•  Do you walk on eggshells to avoid making him/her angry?
• Does s/he use anger and intimidation to frighten and control you?

Anyone forced to change their behaviour because they are frightened of the reaction of their partner, ex-partner or a family member, is experiencing abuse.

Domestic abuse can happen to anyone, regardless of age, background, gender, religion, sexuality, ethnicity, wealth or location.

Domestic abuse is a crime. It is never the fault of the person who is experiencing it. You are not alone, you are not to blame - and help is available.

In an emergency, call the Police on 999.
