The Safe and Together model is designed to improve our practice and how we work together with families where there is domestic abuse and concerns about children. It helps workers partner with domestic abuse victims and engage with people who have committed domestic abuse to enhance the safety and wellbeing of children.

Model details
The model is based on research and has been found to be effective when it has been put into practice in parts of the USA.
The Edinburgh Child Protection committee has funded training since 2015. This was the first time the core training was delivered outside the USA. Edinburgh has trained hundreds of workers to use the Safe and Together tools and we have our own Safe and Together certified trainers.
