Seek help:

It is important to seek help, but don’t confront your abuser on your own. Instead speak to a trusted adult (family member, teacher, youth worker or the police) about what’s happening to you. They will be able to help. You can also talk to Safer; we can help you understand what is happening and make a safety plan and think about next steps.

It is important to have a safety plan. This can include:

• Tell people who you trust about what has been happening
• Thinking of safe places to go
• Always have your 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

 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.,).
