Find out where you can get support if you’re experiencing domestic abuse, or are worried about a friend, family member or neighbour.

Domestic violence or abuse can happen to anyone. It includes physical, psychological, emotional, financial and sexual abuse in relationships or between family members.

If you’re in immediate danger, call 999. If it’s not safe for you to speak to the operator, cough, tap your handset, or press 55.

We can provide advice, support and help customers who are experiencing domestic abuse – get in touch with us.
