Men's Advice Line
If you are a man, including a trans or non-binary person, who is or was a victim of domestic abuse, you can talk it over with an adviser. Friends, family and frontline workers supporting a man can call too. It is a helpline and webchat.
Good to know
Calls are free from landlines and mobiles in the UK and do not show on an itemised bill. You do not have to prove you are a victim. It is run by Respect, a registered charity. The site says the line may be required by law to share information where there is concern about someone’s safety. Webchat chats are kept as transcripts for 6 months. The advisers do not give legal advice. They can give legal information and point you to services that do.
Before you call
Have ready
- nothing is needed: you do not have to give your name, date of birth or address, or prove anything
They may ask
- a few questions about your situation and your level of risk, so they can help with a safety plan. You can say you are not ready to answer.
- at the end, some optional monitoring questions for their funders, such as your age and which local authority you live in. You cannot be identified by your answers.
They can
- listen without judgement and give practical advice and information
- point you to services for legal advice, child contact, counselling and housing
- give you about 30 minutes, and more if you need it
- get you an interpreter by phone, or talk through Relay UK
- move your call to another adviser if you ask for an adviser of a different gender, if one is available
They cannot
- give legal advice: advisers can give legal information and point you to services that give advice
- take a call outside Monday to Friday, 10am to 5pm, or webchat outside Monday to Friday, 9am to 10am
You might wait in a queue and can stay on the line as long as you like. If you do not want to queue, the site says you can use webchat in its opening hours. On webchat, try to reply within 2 minutes.
