 As National Advisor for the Welsh Government for Violence Against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence, I'm concerned and worried, like many others, that as a result of lockdown measures there will be an increase of incidents within the home. The home for many will not offer the safety and security we all need for our well-being and that of our children. Today, I want to reach out to all of you who are finding this more difficult than others. Please be aware there is help available in this testing time for us all, especially trained staff who can help others like you. If you can stay in touch with family and friends, if you know of anyone who is in need of help, you can also reach out and get in touch by Skype FaceTime Audio. Remember to do this where you remain safe. You can also use a code word, a sign or a signal to let those close to you know you need their help. Local shops may also be the central point of help, somewhere you can go to without causing suspicion. If you can, there are help lines who can treat your call with the care and confidence. Live Fair Free is open 24-7. In emergency, you must call the police on 999. Remember you can press 55 if you can't talk. Operators especially trained to know that this means you need assistance. We understand this is one of the most testing times, but that doesn't mean abuse should be tolerated. Help us. Break the silence today. There is help available. Please stay safe.
