Instances of domestic violence or abuse can increase around major football matches. It’s important to remember you do not have to wait for an emergency situation to reach out.

The government is rolling out an Emergency Alerts system this year. The alerts will appear on phones and make a sound even when phones are on silent.

Having a secret phone can be a lifeline for survivors so we've created a guide on managing alerts: https://t.co/f11KKuSYIb

Domestic abusers can use technology to exert control over their victims. @safelives_ has some information on their website both for professionals and individuals on digital and online safety - https://t.co/N384SHjcuJ #DomesticAbuse #DigitalSafety

[#HelloMyNameIs Gemma (RN) @gemma_qi]

@Lads_Like_Us Thank you both for sharing your story. It was a privilege to hear you speak on Wednesday and it has certainly made me think about the changes I can make to improve my reach. Take care both you are truly amazing x

[#HelloMyNameIs Gemma (RN) @gemma_qi]

@jessphillips Not to mention the increasing number of women taking their own lives as they see no other way of escaping the abuse they are subjected too. #wemustdomore

DA suicide is increasingly recognised for the issue it is. Coroner in the suicide of Jessica Laverack made a direct link, Justene Reece abuser was convicted of manslaughter. We developed a Timeline. Now this research just published must be considered. https://t.co/XUK5gXh4Kz
