Immediate Help

Are you in danger? 

If you or someone else is at immediate risk of harm call 999. A silent call will work if it is not safe to speak – call 999 and then press 55 when prompted.

​

If you can’t use a voice phone, you can register with the Police Text Service – Text REGISTER to 999. You will get a text which tells you what to do next. Do this when it’s safe so you can text when you are in danger.

​

If something sexual happened to you without your consent – or you're not sure – you can talk to Rape Crisis. No matter when it happened. Their 24/7 Rape & Sexual Abuse Support Line is open 24 hours a day, every day of the year:
