These safety programmes aim to help protected people understand family violence and the laws relating to it, to understand the effects of this violence on families, and to learn how to protect themselves from family violence in the future.
Programmes developed specifically for children can help them understand and deal with family violence and its effects on them and the family. Although they cover very serious issues, these programmes are designed to be interactive and fun so that children will enjoy the programme.
Note: Safety programmes provided for protected people are very different from the non-violence programmes that respondents must attend. You and the respondent won’t be required to attend a programme together.
