Evidence of abuse
It is useful to have as much evidence as possible about what your partner/ex-partner has done to you. This might include:
- Friends, family or neighbours who can confirm what you say.
- Medical and dental records – ask your GP, health visitor, dentist to make a note of any injuries caused by your partner.
- Police records of calls you have made to them and any information they have gathered.
- Items such as abusive letters or texts which your partner/ex-partner has sent you.
