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 a non-offending parent as a default position.
• Intervening with the perpetrator to reduce risk and harm to the child.

The London Safe & Together Partnership provides training to organisations working towards systemic change in their response to domestic abuse across their child and family systems. The Partnership combines extensive experience of UK systems with the foundations of the Safe & Together model in order to deliver training tailored to the needs of local authorities and organisations based in the UK.
