As a GP or other health practitioner, you are uniquely positioned to start a conversation about family violence. With the right tools and supports, you can help empower women to break the silence and seek safety.

The Safer Families Toolkit is a set of tools to use in clinical practice or other health service settings. Designed to help you identify and respond to those experiencing domestic abuse and violence these resources can be downloaded as PDFs.

Permission is not required for you to use these within your clinical practice. Permission however is required to copy or reproduce these tools in any way for training, publishing or other purposes.
