Safety Planning

Safety planning involves thinking through practical steps that may help increase safety during difficult or unpredictable situations. This section will include tools and guidance to support people in considering their options at their own pace, whether they are experiencing harm now or are concerned about future risk. Resources are currently being carefully reviewed and will be added here as this section develops.

Understanding Family and Domestic Violence

Family and domestic violence can take many forms and is not always physical or easy to recognise. This section will provide clear, accessible information to help people understand different types of abuse, how they can affect individuals and families, and why seeking help or leaving can be complex. Educational resources will be added as this area grows.

Recovery and Longer-Term Support

Recovery and rebuilding after family or domestic violence is a process that looks different for everyone and can take time. This section will focus on longer-term support, stability and healing, including information that may be helpful once immediate safety concerns have passed. Resources will be added as this area develops.

Resources for people who want to take responsibility for their behaviour and make positive change.

Violence, coercion and controlling behaviour cause serious harm and responsibility for this behaviour always lies with the person using it. This section will provide information for people who recognise they are using violence or control and are seeking to take responsibility and make change, as well as for those supporting someone in this position. Resources shared here will prioritise accountability, behaviour change and the safety of victim-survivors.
