Scottish Women's Aid

The Safe & Together Model is an internationally recognised suite of tools and interventions designed to help social workers and other key professionals to engage with families experiencing domestic abuse in a child-centred, strengths-based way. It provides a perpetrator pattern, child-centred, survivor strengths-based approach to working with domestic abuse.

Across Scotland the model is being widely adopted into practice by local authorities and other organisations to improve outcomes and safety for survivors impacted by domestic abuse, usually women and children. This short session will provide a brief overview of the foundational concepts of the model.

Facilitator: Judy Ferguson, SWA National Training Coordinator.
