Domestic violence is a crime and there are a number of offences your partner/the perpetrator can be charged with. In an emergency always dial 999 to ask for help. At other times you can talk to specially trained officers at the Community Safety Unit, visit the contacts link. It is your right to report the violence to the police and doing so may help to protect you and your children. The Police take domestic violence very seriously and will prioritise your safety.
If the perpetrator is charged with an offence you may have to appear in court. There are organisations in Islington which can support you if you are worried about appearing in court. Contact one of the organisations listed in ‘contacts’ for more information.
