Timeline PhotosIn preparation for Wales' Firebreak Lockdown on Friday at 6pm, Deputy Minister Jane Hutt today asked friends and neighbours to be good allies to survivors.
The Deputy Minister also wanted to send a message to survivors that specialist services will continue to be open throughout lockdown and that survivors should reach out for help when they need it.
The Deputy Minister said:
"Times of crisis can result in an increase in incidents of domestic violence, and home is not always a place of safety.
"It is vital, if you are at risk, that you should seek support straight away. You will not be in trouble if you need to leave your home to seek help, and specialist services are open and operating, refuges will take referrals, and support is available to help you.
"I want to emphasise this – if you are in danger or need to leave your home to escape domestic abuse, you are allowed to do so – you will not be in trouble. You can cross county boundaries and travel wherever necessary, and specialist services can help find you suitable emergency accommodation and support.
"I urge communities, friends, neighbours, postal workers and delivery drivers across Wales to look out for each other, and act as the eyes and ears for victims of abuse who need help. These are scary times for all of us, but those at risk of abuse could be hanging on to life by a thread.
"It is very important, for your safety and the victim’s, that you don’t intervene yourself, but you can help by calling 999 in an emergency or Live Fear Free (contact details below). You could be saving a life."

Our team strive to ensure that young people feel safe and at home in their new temporary accommodation.
One way our specialist team do this is thought play. Whether it’s playing our toy room or receiving a special gift on their birthday, toys help bring joy and entertainment to our children and young people’s lives. We are currently appealing for new toys which can be purchased from our Amazon Wish List below. We greatly appreciate your all donations.

Wow! We are blown away by the response to our Winter coat appeal and all the wonderful donations we have received. Today we have received over 70* coats and have arranged for lots more coats to be brought to our office next week.
We are thrilled to say that we now have enough coats, however, this means we will not be able to take any further donations, apart from donations that have a drop off already scheduled. We appreciate the effort so many people went to dig out coats from their wardrobes and cupboards and we're sorry that we can't accept any more.
Thank you to everyone for their calls and messages, we apologise if we haven’t been able to get back to everyone as we have been inundated with your generous offers and responses.
