#YouAreNotAlone

We know that the pandemic has been a difficult time for everyone – and particularly so for adults and children living with abuse, and for the professionals supporting them.

Emergency Help

If you or someone else is in immediate danger please call 999 and ask for the police.

Silent calls will work if you are not safe to speak – use the Silent Solution system and 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 is safe so you can text when you are in danger. Click here to find out more.

Prevent

The Prevent strategy, published by the Government in 2011, is part of it's overall counter-terrorism strategy.

The aim of the Prevent strategy is to reduce the threat to the UK from terrorism by stopping people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism.

In the Act this has simply been expressed as the need to “prevent people from being drawn into terrorism”.
