When considering who to contact, think about your primary needs at this time.

Behind Closed Doors can offer you signposts to services such as solicitors, housing and benefits, we can also signpost you to counsellors and we offer emotional support.

If you are experiencing violence from someone you live with, it is important that you seek help and support. You don't have to involve the Police if you don't want to but if you choose not to at this time remember you can always contact them later on. Whether or not the Police use the criminal law against a violent person, you can use civil law to get protection and allow you to live in safety. You can find out more from us, from a solicitor or from your local Citizen's Advice Bureau.
