Advice if you think it's unsafe due to other violence
If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, you need to call 999.
You need to report it to the police if you are experiencing violence or threats from outside your home. The police may arrest, caution or charge the person responsible. They can also give you advice about safety in the home, or refer you to us for help if they need to.
If the police think your home is safe, you can stay there. However, if you do not want to stay in your home, you could try and stay with people you know until the situation changes.
