This Safety Planning Guide has been developed by the Australian Red Cross. What is a safety plan? A personalised, practical plan that can help a person to recognise and respond to known safety threats. It provides simple and clear guidance on how a person can act to keep themselves and others safe should the threat arise, including what to do, who to contact and where to go. The danger or threat may be something that impacts a person’s physical, emotional, or mental wellbeing. Safety plans are intended to mitigate specific dangers and provide short term, practical options for the person to increase their safety.
