Safer Families Toolkit
As a GP or other health practitioner, you are uniquely positioned to start a conversation about family violence. With the right tools and supports, you can help empower women to break the silence and seek safety.
The Safer Families Toolkit is a set of tools to use in clinical practice and is how practitioners should ACT to identify and respond to domestic and family violence.
Before you explore the toolkit, take a look at the REAL Model as it is important to RELATE and ENGAGE with survivors before you ACT and LEARN.
The toolkit is designed to help you identify and respond to those experiencing domestic abuse and violence.
It can be downloaded as PDFs and permission is not required for you to use these within you r clinical practice.
Permission however is required to copy or reproduce these tools for training, publishing or other purposes.
