Safe Spaces
During the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic, if you are experiencing domestic abuse you can visit any Boots store and ask to use their consultancy room, where they can provide you information and support.
Morrisons pharmacies and Superdrug stores have also signed up to offer safe places to support victims of domestic abuse.
