COVID19 Information
The Covid-19 virus continues to bring with it pressing challenges for families everywhere. For separated families these can be very difficult to manage. Loss of income, conflict, full-blown arguments over where the children should stay and separation from loved-ones and an increase in domestic abuse.

If you are in immediate danger, call 999 and ask for the police.
If you are in danger and unable to talk on the phone, dial 999, listen to the questions from the operator and respond by coughing or tapping the handset if you can. Then follow the instructions depending on whether you are calling from a mobile or a landline.
If prompted, press 55 to Make Yourself Heard – this will transfer your call to the police. Pressing 55 only works on mobiles and does not allow police to track your location.
