Practical advice to increase your safety
during COVID19
Here are ways you can safety plan in
the event of an emergency
- Stay safe online - change your passwords regularly and remember
to delete your browsing history
- If you've got a personal alarm carry it on you so you can alert
your neighbours
- Make sure family, teachers and friends (not mutual) know what's
going on and agree a code word that alerts them to call the
police
- Be honest about what's happening to you, and how you are
feeling, so you can get help and support
- Keep and/or make copies of personal and important documents
somewhere safe and accessible or with someone trusted.
- In case of an emergency, keep your phone charged, in credit and
with you at all times
- Store any useful numbers Safe2Speak, the Refuge and the police
domestic violence unit into your phone but under other names. For
example, the refuge could be in your phone under 'hairdresser'
- Teach any children to call 999 in an emergency and
what they need to say: their full name, address, telephone
number
- Choose a safe place in the house you can go to call the police
if you need to,
- avoid places like the bathroom or kitchen, where knives or
razors might be.
- Ensure all the tools or things that could be used as weapons
are locked up in the garage or tool shed.
- Plan your escape routes so that in an emergency you can
get away safely
Call 999 if your life is in
danger and you need immediate help.
