Breaches of AVO and incidents - Always call the police if there is a breach of your ADVO. - Keep a diary of any contact with the abusive person. Record anything that made you feel uncomfortable or unsafe. Write down the details of any conversation and any threatening or intimidating statements. This will be very helpful if you have to go to court. There’s a form on the next page to write them down. - As you might have to repeat your story several times, write a timeline of the relationship. A case worker can assist with this.
