Domestic Abuse

Anyone can be a victim of domestic abuse. If you or someone you know needs support with domestic abuse, then this page may help.

The UK Government website provides a range of information on how to get help if you or someone you know is a victim of domestic abuse.

In addition, there are several local and national organisations which can offer support and many people who contact Tan Dhesi MP regarding domestic abuse will be signposted to these organisations.

If you think you are in danger at any time, then please call the Police on 999.
