Home isn’t a safe place for those living with domestic abuse.
Domestic abuse is the single most harmful crime type with 2.4m victims each year, but fewer than one in five of domestic abuse victims report their abuse to the police.
Join in reaching out to anyone who may feel scared in their own homes during this time. ‘At home’ should not mean ‘at risk’ – we support you.
If you, or anyone you know is at risk of, or experiencing domestic abuse, you can leave your home to seek refuge. The police will respond to your calls and support services remain available.
• Call 999 if you are in immediate danger.
If you can’t speak and are calling from a mobile, listen to the operator and, when prompted, dial 55 to be connected to the police who will help.
(Note this is not possible from a landline as police are unable to see specific location)
• If you suspect a neighbour or someone you know is currently experiencing domestic abuse call 999 and let them take the situation forward
• Find support at gov.uk/domestic-abuse
