As having a physical copy of a safety plan could be risky for a person experiencing violence, a copy of the plan should be kept in the client’s files and reviewed regularly [581, 582]. The safety plan should: Include emergency contact numbers. Identify a friend/neighbour/family member who can provide assistance. Identify one or more places of safety, means of getting there safely, as well as secure locations to store valuables, emergency items, and documents. Identify safe ways to access finances in an emergency. Encourage the client to establish a distress code to be used with trusted friends/family members that will trigger them to call emergency services. Download section Previous Next
