I'm worried about myself

If you're not sure if you are experiencing abusive behaviours from another person in your home, living environment, or situation wherever it happens to be, you can contact us for advice and discuss any concerns you may have. 

What happens next

• if you are at risk, we will listen to you, and give you help and support. We will pass what you have reported to a Social Worker or Police Officer who will be able to support you further.
• if you are raising a concern about someone else. We will decide if we need to investigate and provide protection or support. We will contact you if we need any further information.
• if we contact the person you are worried about we will listen to them and help identify what they need to feel safe. We will agree on what needs to happen to protect them.
• you may hear nothing, but this doesn't mean nothing is being done.
