Need to leave.

Social services involved. I know I have no choice but to leave. Verbal, physical, financial, emotional, occasionally sexual. It's a complete shit show.
HOWEVER: how do I tell him I'm done? How do I do it safely?
I've asked police to support me, but they won't until he kicks off. They can't guarantee they will attend if he does!
Social services are not helping, all they've done is told me I am not protecting my children by not reporting it sooner and throwing him out. I've asked them to be here so I can tell him, but they seem to have dropped off the face of the earth.
Contacted NDV they never got back to me.
My plan is to tell him, then leave with the kids for a few days whilst he sorts somewhere to live.
I've packed a bag, I have passports etc. I am just confirming an Air bnb to stay at.
What else do I need to do? Apart from telling him of course.
I'm terrified.

Hi,
We are kind of ok.
Life is calm. Things are feeling more positive.
House is up for sale and hoping we will have an offer in next few weeks!
We are looking at a little place just for us. I'm letting DC make some of the decisions about what house we buy. It's scary but exciting.
I've opened up to a few people about how bad it's been. People have been so kind. I've been out a fair bit!
The kids were dancing and laughing in the kitchen at the weekend. It was just beautiful to see.
Thank you for asking.
