Safe and Together Overview Training

Safe & Together is a model designed to support children and family services and their surrounding systems to improve outcomes for families impacted by domestic abuse and improve competency across the workforce.  We use this model across the multi-agency workforce in Havering.

The Safe & Together principles are:

• Keeping child Safe &Together™ with non-offending parent
• Partnering with non-offending parent as a default position
• Intervening with perpetrator to reduce risk and harm to child
