Creating a Safety Plan

While every safety plan is individualized, some common key elements of a safety plan include:

• A trusted confidant - friend, family member, Rabbi, therapist, or another abuse survivor - who will believe a victim's story and listen without passing judgment. 
• Areas in the house to avoid should the abuser become physically violent.
• An escape route - planned and practiced (a good way to leave is to follow everyday routines that include leaving the house, and then proceed to a designated safe place), and a safe place to stay such as a battered women's shelter or a safe house for abused women.
• A code word to use with children, friends, and/or neighbors when the victim needs the police.
• Copies of important documents - such as banking information, insurance policies, birth certificates, passports or immigration papers, medical records and prescriptions, and school records - hidden in a safe and accessible place.
• Other essentials stashed away in a safe and accessible place - such as clothing, a spare set of house and car keys, a pre-paid cell phone, and important phone numbers.
• Money set aside that can be accessed quickly in an emergency.
• Copies of a protective order.
• Copies of other court documents regarding custody and visitation.
• A safety plan for your pet.

Family members, friends, and co-workers of domestic violence victims who feel they may be in danger should develop safety plans.  For help with creating a plan, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline, state or local domestic violence coalition, or other local program.
