This Guidance Document is designed for anyone in a National Society who is assessing, designing, implementing, or monitoring and evaluating programming that involves UASC.

The Guidance Document is structured so that National Societies can use the sections that are most relevant to them. Some sections are relevant to all National Societies working with UASC, such as those for National Society preparedness, child safeguarding systems, actions for prevention, assessing needs, empowering and engaging UASC. Other sections like those on essential services and humanitarian diplomacy might have some parts more relevant than others depending on the context and focus each National Society is taking.

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.

These guidelines developed by the Australian Red Cross outline the support available to Australian Red Cross people (employees, volunteers, and members) and contractors or sub-contractors, work experience students, trainees and apprentices who may be experiencing domestic or family violence.

This practice guide is designed to support Red Cross people to identify and respond to family violence concerns they may encounter when working with individuals, families and communities.
