Safety Planning for Kids: A Draft for Teachers

Children who live in violent homes need to participate in a plan to keep themselves safe:

1. Can you go to a neighbor's house to call 911 or to get away? What is that neighbor's name?
   
   

2. Why is it important to call 911?
   
   

3. Where can you go in the house to be safe during a fight?
   
   

4. What rooms should you stay out of when there is a fight?
   
   

5. Why do you think it is not a good idea to try to protect your mother when (Fill in name) is fighting with her?
   
   

6. Who can you talk to about what is happening in your home?
   
   

7. If an adult does not listen to you or does not believe you, should you give up and not tell anyone else?
