In immediate danger: call 999 — or if you can\'t speak, press 55 when prompted.
Urgent
I'm physically unsafe right now
1Call 999 immediately if you're in danger.

I don't feel safe at home
1If there is immediate danger: call 999.
2If you're at risk but not in immediate danger: call 101 (police non-emergency) or a domestic abuse helpline: 0808 2000 247.
3Tell someone you trust what's happening — a friend, family member, neighbour.
4Consider what you'd take if you had to leave quickly: ID, medication, phone, money.
5You don't have to have a plan to leave in order to seek support now.
Urgent
I'm scared of what I might do to myself

Someone is threatening or harassing me
1Document everything: screenshots, dates, times, what was said.
2If threats involve physical harm: this is a police matter — call 999 (immediate) or 101.
