Safety planning aims to manage the risk to people at risk of or experiencing domestic abuse, and to increase their safety.

I wish every single student had the opportunity to undertake this course as it really allowed me to understand and dig deeper around domestic abuse and it sparked a personal interest and passion for the type of social worker I hope to become - thank you for this great opportunity.
