The markers that mean stop reading and get help today

These are in lesson one, not at the end, because somebody in a bad enough state may never reach lesson six.

Pressure on your neck, even once, even briefly, even if you did not pass out. He has said he will kill you, or himself, or the children, whether or not you believed him. There is a weapon in the house. You are pregnant and he has hurt you. He has forced sex. It is happening more often, or getting worse. He follows you, checks your phone, or turns up where you did not say you would be. You are planning to leave, or you have just left. You are afraid of what happens if you say no. Anyone has hurt a child in the house.

This is not a checklist and it does not produce a score. This platform does not assess danger. Every one of these is a reason to speak to a service today rather than to read on.
