Domestic Violence - Stay Safe

It's not your fault or your responsibility ...

Violence at home, often termed domestic violence, is a growing problem.  So you are not alone.

Like other children and young people you probably want the violence to stop, but you might not be sure about what you can do.

It’s really important to remember that domestic violence is not your fault and it is not your responsibility to stop it from happening. You have a right to be safe.

Sometimes, you might feel like you don’t have any choices or you don’t have the power to change anything. Maybe you think that running away from home or trying to stop a fight are the only ways to make the violence or abuse stop. They’re not the only choices. It’s important that you are safe and that you can stop feeling scared.
