Helplines

At Middleton St Mary's, we believe in supporting the children and the families who are a part of our community.

Please find below a list of helpful websites and points of contact.

Domestic Violence and Abuse

We know this is a difficult and worrying time for everyone, especially for adults and children living with domestic abuse and the professionals working hard to support them.

There is support available to help you through this time. You can still:

call the police on 999 in an emergency (press 55 after the emergency number if you're in danger and not able to speak for help)
find accommodation from Leeds Housing Options or Leeds Domestic Violence Service if you are a victim of domestic abuse and need to escape
find a safe place to stay with social distancing in place to protect you
telephone or webchat for support at: Leeds Domestic Violence Service (for both men and women) www.leeds.gov.uk/domesticviolence 0113 2460401

Relationships

The coronavirus outbreak is leading to big changes in the way we live our everyday lives. Our relationships will be hugely important for getting us through this but self-isolation, social distancing and other concerns may also place them under added pressure.

You can find blogs, advice and tips for helping your relationships stay healthy during the pandemic through the Relationship Matters website. https://relationshipmatters.org.uk/
