What should I do to keep myself safe?

It is important to have a safety plan. If you want to end your relationship, try to do it with other people around and keep important items in a bag that is kept safe somewhere (it should include keys, money, passport, id, medication etc).

Safety plan:

  • Tell people who you trust about what has been happening
  • Thinking of safe places to go
  • Always have phone charged
  • Make up a code word you can use with people if you need to ask for help in front of your abuser
  • Make sure someone always knows where you are
  • Think about when things are likely to be most scary, and plan when and how to leave safely
  • Call 999 in an emergency
