Domestic Violence Risk Check

Helps you see warning signs that abuse at home may become more dangerous, so you can plan for safety and get support. It cannot predict what will happen.

13 questions about the person who is hurting you. Private. Your employer never sees your answers. Nothing is saved unless you choose. If this person may check your phone, use a private tab or a friend's phone, and clear your history afterwards. If you are in danger right now, call SAPS on 10111, or 112 from a mobile.
