Domestic Abuse

Where can I get help?

Emergencies

If you are in immediate danger call 999.

If you can’t speak but the operator hears something suspicious, they’ll connect you to a police call handler. If you can make some noise, for example cough, whisper or tap the handset, the operator will connect you to the police.

If you can’t speak, and the operator can’t tell what service you need, they’ll transfer you to the Silent Solution system (opens in new window). This runs a 20 second automated message, and that will ask you to press 55, to be put through to the police. This does not allow the police to track your location.

Non-emergencies

For non-emergencies contact Nottinghamshire Police on 101.
