If you are suffering domestic violence, we can take steps to protect you and your family.

If you have experienced - or are experiencing - physical abuse or threatening behaviour from your spouse, partner or ex-partner, there are several measures we can take to protect you.

If you tell us what has happened, and explain your circumstances and living arrangements, we can help you decide the best way to handle the situation. We will handle your case sensitively and with complete confidentiality. We’ll do everything possible to ensure you and your children’s safety and protection.
