COVID-19 and Domestic Abuse
You are not alone. Help and support is available to you now.
It is a Scottish Government priority to ensure that anyone who is a victim of domestic abuse gets access to the support services they need during these unprecedented times.
If you, or someone you know, a neighbour, or friend, are experiencing domestic abuse, do not delay in seeking help due to the current Coronavirus outbreak. Support is available or you can call the police if you or another person are in any danger or at risk of harm – the police and support services are there for you.
Tackling domestic abuse remains a priority for Police Scotland and they continue to monitor the impact moves taken to prevent the spread of the virus could have on families.
These are difficult times but the safety of women and child victims, who may experience domestic abuse, is paramount.
