Abuse, family matters and protection orders
Domestic and family violence is when one person in a relationship uses violence or abuse to control the other. It is usually an ongoing pattern of behaviour aimed at controlling a partner through fear.
Whether you are a young person or an older person who has been in your relationship for many years or just a short time, it's important to determine whether your relationship remains safe and respectful.
