Safety Planning Tool

Safety planning is the development of a plan to achieve and maintain safety of the victim/survivor and their children. It includes: Compiling a list of emergency numbers Helping to identify a safe place for them to go to and how they will get there Identifying family and friends who can provide support Ensuring cash is available; and Providing a safe place to store valuables and important documents. Devising a safety plan with them in case of an emergency can be very simple (e.g. where would they go, where to leave a packed bag, keys and money somewhere other than at home, how to be contacted, a safe place to send mail)
