Domestic Abuse

Domestic abuse is a pattern of controlling behaviour that can lead to physical and sexual violence, and is not necessarily a problem with managing anger. It can happen to anyone regardless of age, race, background or sexuality. Both women and men can be abused.

Some common traits of abuse can be:

• Threatening or intimidating behaviour - Domestic abuse isn’t always violent, but it can often escalate to physical abuse.
• Disrespect - Constant criticism or putting the other partner or spouse down, especially in front of family and friends.
• Controlling behaviour - Excessively jealous or possessive behaviour, limiting the other person’s access to money, friends, vehicles, or freedom in general.
• Harassment - Following or checking up on a partner, not allowing them any privacy.

Contact the National Domestic Violence Helpline 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on 0808 2000 247. The Men’s Advice Line is available Monday to Friday 9am-5pm, on 0808 801 0327. But in an emergency, always call 999.
