Safety Planning and Monitoring – A 5.5-Step Model (Synchronous E-Learning)

Safety planning is crucial to ensure that children can remain in their families despite having experienced child protection dangers or safety issues in the family. Robust safety planning requires involvement of family members and both formal and informal networks. It needs to include the children, non-offending caregiver, extended family members, school, childcare or other social service professionals and more importantly, the parent/person who caused harm.

Safety planning is an important intervention to prevent danger from escalating and ensure enduring safety for children and families who have experienced child protection and family violence issues.
