Leaving an abusive relationship is a brave step and the most hardest for someone who has lived in fear. There is help available through various means, social media, and telephone and face to face- you are not alone and will be supported in the best way possible.
Firstly it is important you leave safely and are not placed at further risk and so to do this it would be important that you speak to a professional who can talk things through with you and a safe plan exit can be explored.
There are safe places across the country and you can be supported in seeking accommodation that will ensure you are kept safe – this will remain confidential.
If you are at immediate risk you need to ring the police for assistance on either 999 or log and report incidents/ ongoing abuse on 111
If you do not want to leave immediately then you can be supported by leaving in a planned way and we can liaise with local and national services to ensure you can be safeguarded. At Endeavour, we liaise with refuges across the country and can make a referral if this suits or we can advise clients to attend Housing Options services in Bolton to seek temporary accommodation.
Similarly if you require emergency accommodation you can contact them after hours on 01204 337777.
