Safety Planning - while in an abusive relationship

Leaving an abusive relationship is difficult and may not be the safest option for you at a particular point. Here are some ways to keep you as safe as possible while remaining in the relationship.

MOBILE
– Keep a phone in a room that locks from the inside and memorise all emergency numbers.
– Carry a mobile with you at all times.

SAFE PLACE
– Decide and plan where to go if you need to leave (even if you don’t think you’ll need to).

CODE WORD
– Make up a code word to let the children, friends, family or a neighbour know that you’re in trouble and need help.

DON’T GET STUCK
If you can’t get out, don’t go into places like the kitchen or garage where there are plenty of potential weapons.
Avoid small rooms where you can be trapped and rooms without windows.

GRAB BAG
– If it is safe to do so, keep a handbag or overnight bag with important phone numbers and items in a place where you can grab it if you need to leave in a hurry.

CAR
– If you have a car, park it so that you can leave quickly if you need to (e.g., park facing outwards).

Get out, if you can.

If you are in danger or have been assaulted, call the Gardaí 999/112.

Everyone's situation is different. Talk to one of our experienced outreach team about creating a safety plan for your particular situation. Call us on 086 059 7560.
