SUPPORT AND SAFETY
You deserve
to feel safe.
If you’re worried about your relationship or someone else’s, independent support is available. You do not have to decide what to call your experience before asking for help.
If you are in immediate danger, call 999.
Ask for the police. If you cannot speak and are calling from a mobile, listen to the operator and press 55 when prompted to be transferred to the police. This only works on mobiles; it does not automatically reveal your location.
Use a safe device if you can. Leaving this page does not remove it from your browser history.
