Safe at home and in the neighbourhood

Your home is supposed to be a safe place. For you and for others who live in your home. Unfortunately, there are unpleasant situations that can make you feel unsafe, for example:

  • You are hit, kicked or otherwise injured by your partner or your child(ren).
  • There is sexual violence at home or in your environment.
  • You are being bullied, threatened or even stalked by your (ex)partner or another family member.

It could also be that you yourself, through your behavior, are creating an unsafe home or neighborhood. And that you want to stop doing that. 

Get help

  • In case of immediate danger, call 112 
  • If you are concerned about safety at home, call Veilig Thuis (0800 2000)

Whatever is going on, you can always share your story with the neighborhood team in your area. Get in touch with us. We will think along with you about solutions. Then, together with you, we will get to work to make them happen. Don't hesitate to call, email, or stop by the neighborhood team.
