Event held 28 April 2026
Contact us to find out when the next training is coming up or book in for a group. The Safe & Together Model is a framework that keeps children safe and together with their non-offending parent by focusing on the perpetrator’s pattern of behaviour, its impact on the family, and the survivor’s protective efforts, using the perpetrator mapping tool. It helps practitioners shift away from victim blaming, create clearer assessments of risk, and strengthen collaboration so families experiencing violence receive safer, more effective support.
