Domestic violence
If you are exposed to violence or oppression within a relationship, there are various ways in which you can get help. Help is available, regardless of whether you are subjected to physical or psychological violence or abuse or economic control.
You can choose to remain anonymous and do not need to give your name. You do not have to report the matter to the police, but you can receive help to submit a police report if you wish to.
If you or anybody that you know is in immediate danger, you must always call the emergency services on 112.
