Domestic abuse affects people from all walks of life and in many different ways.
If you are suffering from physical, sexual, psychological or financial abuse, or are being threatened, intimidated or stalked by a current or previous partner or close family member, it’s likely you’re a victim of domestic abuse.
The Crown Prosecution Service website has a breakdown of the types of domestic abuse.
You can report domestic abuse to North Wales Police or, if you’re not ready to speak to the police, you can contact support organisations who will help you.
Call the UK police non-emergency number, 101, if you need support or advice from the police and it’s not an emergency.
