Protection Orders

If you or your children feel unsafe because of someone's behaviour - physical, emotional, sexual or financial - a protection order can set clear legal boundaries. We can help you apply, including making an urgent application where appropriate.

How We Can Help:

Urgent (without-notice) applications when safety is at risk
Orders that can be put in place before the other person is told
Protection that can cover your children too
Help responding if an order has been made against you
Good to Know

If you're in immediate danger right now, call 111. Once you're safe, we can help you apply for a protection order.
