Protecting yourself from domestic violence when your immigration status is uncertain
If you have insecure immigration status, you are still entitled to protection from domestic violence, just like anyone else in the UK. Your abuser will also be subject to the same sanctions as anyone else, whatever his or her immigration status. You can contact the police, or a domestic violence helpline. You can find details in the "where to get further help" section.
