In immediate danger
Call the police on 999
Silent Help: If you need help but are unable to speak, ring 999 when they answer press 55
This alerts the operator and the police will be sent to help you.
Pressing 55 only works on mobiles and doesn't allow the police to track your location.
If you can only say one thing, give your location. If you don't press 55 your call will be ended.
Calling 999 from a landline automatically gives the police information about your location.

You may be unsure if someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse or any form of VAWG. If it is safe to do so, you could share types of abuse with them to help them come to terms with what they are experiencing.
Try to keep in mind that they might not be ready to accept that their partner or relative is abusive yet.
