Domestic Abuse
Getting help and support for domestic violence
You do not have to wait for an emergency situation to find help. If domestic abuse is happening to you, it’s important to tell someone and remember you’re not alone.
Extra support during coronavirus
Advice to self-isolate due to coronavirus does not apply if you need to escape from domestic abuse.
Many pharmacies have safe spaces where you can get information about support and make calls. (Anyone of any gender can now go into a participating pharmacy and ask for ‘Ani’, pronounced Annie, and acronym for ‘action needed immediately’. They will then be taken by a staff member into a private room where they will be helped and put in touch with the relevant support services.)
