Disclaimer & Safety
Last reviewed: 4 September 2026
General information, not advice
This website, the book Trapped by Money and its resources provide general information only.
They are not legal, financial, tax, immigration, medical, therapeutic or specialist domestic abuse advice, and reading them does not create a professional relationship with the author or the company.
Every situation is different. If you need advice about your own circumstances, speak to a qualified professional or a specialist organisation. Free and specialist support services are listed on our Support & Resources page.
Descriptive terms, not a diagnosis
Terms such as coercive control, financial abuse, economic abuse and narcissistic behaviour are used descriptively and for education.
They are not a legal finding, an allegation of a criminal offence or a diagnosis; only a qualified professional can make a diagnosis.
Which law applies
Unless stated otherwise, legal information relates to England and Wales.
Rights and processes differ in Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and elsewhere — always check the position where you live.
Accuracy
Laws, benefits rules and contact details change over time. We try to keep information accurate and note when each page was last reviewed.
We cannot guarantee that information is complete or current at the moment you read it.
Liability
This website and its content are provided “as is”. To the extent permitted by law, CRUTHAIGH LIMITED and Helen Davies are not liable for any loss or damage arising from use of, or reliance on, this website or the book.
This does not apply where liability cannot legally be excluded, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud.
Your safety
This website deals with financial control and abuse. If someone may be monitoring your device, think about whether it is safe to visit, save or share pages from this site. A private or incognito window helps but does not guarantee privacy.
The Quick Exit button takes you to a neutral site immediately but does not erase your browsing history or hide your activity from anyone with access to your device.
This website is not monitored in real time and cannot provide emergency help. If you are in immediate danger, contact emergency services.
Helplines and specialist support for each nation are available on our Support & Resources page.
