STAYING SAFE 

1. VITAL…

  Do not kid yourself that your abuser would never be violent.  Abuse always escalates! Read more here. 

2. Don't tell them you're leaving.

3. Wear clothes with pockets (to keep your phone out of reach).

4. Have a prepared escape route out of the home. (Include a pair of shoes or trainers in a safe place but quickly accessible).

5. Make sure you have spare cash.

6. Reconnect with your friends and family… tell someone your situation.

7. Check your devices for trackers.

8. Make a copy of all your documents.

9. Change your passwords and log out of everything.

10. Do not rush things! Take your time and make a plan…
