If you are self-isolating due to Coronavirus and feel at risk from a partner or family member in the home, dont suffer in silence, talk to someone that can help. 

In an emergency, always dial 999 – if you are unable to speak always press ’55’ when prompted to confirm an emergency.

It is important to remember:

• Domestic violence and abuse can be actual or threatened and can happen on a regular basis or once every so often.
• It can happen to anybody, in different types of relationships.
• People suffer domestic abuse regardless of their age, gender, social group, class, 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.
