Signs of a healthy relationship

Respect and safety

Healthy relationships are important. They remind us that we are valued and allow us to share the joys and challenges of life with others.

You have the right to feel respected and safe in your relationships, including with:

  • Boyfriends, girlfriends, partners, husbands or wives
  • Ex-boyfriends, ex-girlfriends, ex-partners, ex-husbands or ex-wives
  • Carers and paid support workers
  • Parents, guardians and other family members
  • Adult children
  • People you work with
  • Other people you live with or see often, whether inside or outside the place you live.

It is not healthy for any of these people to control you or cause you to live in fear.
