Deciding where to go is an important part of your safety plan. Think how your partner will react to you leaving, and take appropriate precautions.
- Arrange a safe place to stay where he can't contact you. You can still contact him if you want to.
- Think about whether or not it's safe to stay in the same area. You may decide to leave the area even for a short while.
- Family and friends might be a good option. Are they known to your partner? Consider their safety too.
- Women's refuges offer supported, short term accommodation, often at secret locations.
