This printable Domestic Abuse Safety Plan is a practical worksheet that helps victims and survivors of domestic violence, intimate partner violence, coercive control, and abusive relationships plan steps to increase their safety.
The downloadable PDF guides people through important areas of personal safety planning, including what to do if violence starts, how to leave the home quickly, safe places they can go, and who they can contact for help. It also helps users identify trusted people, emergency contacts, safe locations, and transport options if they need to leave urgently. The worksheet includes sections on planning with children, preparing an emergency bag with important documents and essentials, and improving phone and online safety where an abuser may monitor devices or accounts. It also supports planning for safety after leaving an abusive relationship, such as changing routines or informing trusted neighbours.
This printable safety plan PDF can be completed independently or with the support of a domestic abuse advocate, support worker, social worker, counsellor, therapist, refuge worker, or safeguarding professional. It is a useful tool for domestic abuse services, crisis support, risk assessment, and safety planning sessions with adults experiencing abuse.
