If you’re worried about how someone is treating you or someone at home, you’re not alone. This page explains what domestic abuse is and how to get help.
Domestic abuse is when someone threatens, bullies, or hurts someone in their family or their relationship. Sometimes it’s called domestic violence, but someone doesn’t need to physically hurt you to be abusive.
Abuse has happened in lots of families, and anyone can go through it. It might not always be obvious, and if someone is using bullying or violence to get what they want, that’s domestic abuse.
It can include:
Such as hitting, kicking, punching, pushing, or pulling hair. It can also include throwing or breaking things.
This might include threatening to hurt you, someone in your family, or a pet. It can also include threats about money, food, or basic needs.
This could mean not being allowed to spend money, or not being given enough for essentials like food, clothing, or baby items.
For example, being stopped from going to school or work, being told what to wear, or being prevented from seeing friends or family.
This includes being harmed or punished for something seen as unacceptable by a family or community, or being pressured or forced into a marriage.
If you are under 16 or over 16, you can still get help and protection.
The law can help to:
Even if you are under 16, it is still against the law for someone to abuse you in a relationship. Support is still available.
Whatever is happening, it’s important to get support.
If you’re not sure who to talk to, you can speak to someone confidentially.
