Staying Safe From Violence
A Safety Plan is a guide for staying safe from violence. Planning for your safety is a process of looking at your situation and assessing what you might need to help you feel and be safer. Your safety plan must be relevant to your needs and be adapted if your situation changes. It needs to incorporate an escape plan as well as practical strategies to improve your home and personal security. Safety planning is not about focusing on living in fear; it is about taking proactive steps to improve your and your children’s safety and taking back control over your life. Safety plans need to include safety strategies for different environments such as home, social, work and vehicle security.
