Silent Solutions
Familiarise yourself with The Silent Solution System. This is a system for victims of domestic abuse who might be afraid of further danger and escalation of harm if they are overheard when calling 999 in an emergency.
- When somebody calls 999, an operator will ask which emergency service is required.
- If you are not able to ask for help, your call will be forwarded to a police system and you will hear an automated message.
- If 55 is pressed by the caller, the system will detect this.
- The operator will then transfer the call to the relevant police force as an emergency.

Domestic abuse can involve any incident or pattern of incidents of
controlling, coercive or threatening behaviour, violence or abuse. It
can apply to people:
- Aged 16 or over
- Who are or have been intimate partners or family members
- Any gender or sexuality
Domestic abuse can include the following types of abuse:
- Psychological: Jealousy, humiliation, degradation, put downs, isolation from family and friends, threats of suicide, using your children to inform or report on you.
- Physical: Beating, kicking, slapping, punching, burning, strangulation, stabbing or denying sleep.
- Sexual: Rape, enforced sex or prostitution, pornography, or any sexual behaviour or activity which you find unacceptable.
- Financial: Withholding money or always calling you to account for your spending.
- Emotional: Name calling or threats to harm you or your children.
No, it is not your fault. Domestic abuse occurs when a person tries to bully or control another. Responsibility lies entirely with that person.
