Prerequisites for using the e-SAFeR Guide
Individuals wishing to use this guide must have a solid understanding of family violence, its impact on survivors and their children, and the principles of trauma- and violence-informed practice.
Users are required to attend a one-day training session, offered free of charge across Canada (for available training opportunities, please see New Users).
Users are also encouraged to complete training on the use of the Danger Assessment tool and to build relationships with professionals in their communities (lawyers, social workers) who can conduct risk assessments and create safety plans for survivors and their children who may be at ongoing risk of harm.
