Domestic Abuse

Great Yarmouth Council believes that everyone has the right to live without fear or abuse in their own homes and communities.

Our focus is to make sure all of our tenants feel safe and that any victim of domestic abuse has the help and assistance they need from us.

If you're experiencing domestic abuse, you may feel very alone and have no idea who or where to turn to. We'll help you get the advice and support you need.

What to do if you are experiencing domestic abuse

If it is an emergency (a crime is happening, someone suspected of a crime is nearby, someone is injured, you are being threatened or you are in immediate danger) you should always call 999.

National Domestic Violence helpline
A national helpline which is available every day of the year.
Freephone: 0808 2000 247
