Safety Planning for Children:

• Get help for yourself and for the children.
• Teach children not to get in the middle of an abusive or violent incident.
• Teach children to leave the house and go to a neighbor’s during an incident.
• Teach children to call 911.
• Designate a ‘safe’ place for children to go during an incident.
  Go to the child as soon as possible afterwards and reassure
  the child that you are ok and it is not their fault.
  

During an incident, stay away form the kitchen or bathroom where there may be hard or sharp surfaces and many objects that may be used as weapons.

 

If violence happens in your house:

• Call 911.
• Send your children to a pre arranged safe place.
• Get to a safe place.
• If you cannot get out of the house, stay out of rooms where there are known and unknown weapons. (ie, kitchen and bathroom)
