We recognise that each person's experiences are unique and that you will already be making decisions to manage your situation as best you can. The following information provides information on some things which have been found to be helpful, although we recommend where possible that you work alongside a domestic abuse specialist to develop a detailed safety plan based on your individual situation.

The Wokingham Domestic Abuse Service, delivered by Cranstoun is here to help you and your family keep safe and access emotional and practical support. You can contact them on 0118 402 1921, email dass@cranstoun.org.uk or complete the online referral form on the Cranstoun website.

Our safety planning leaflet provides details on some of the ways you can keep safer, including teaching your children how to phone for help; trying to avoid risk areas in your home when you feel the situation is escalating; thinking through how you can get to a safe place if an incident feels imminent, and things to consider keeping together in a safe place so if you need to flee in an emergency.
