Signs of safety

We have adopted the 'signs of safety' approach to working with families where there are concerns about children's safety.  

This approach aims to work with the strengths and resources that exist within families to build safety for children who have suffered, or are at risk of suffering, significant harm of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse and neglect. 

Resources explaining this approach can be found on the AfC website: 

• Signs of safety - information for families 
• Available training for practitioners
