What is the Safe Place Initiative?
Safe Place is an initiative which provides support in a range of settings for people requiring
information on domestic violence. It is estimated that 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men will
experience domestic violence during their lifetime. In most businesses, churches and schools
it is likely that customers, service users and staff will include victims of domestic violence on
a daily basis.
As a Safe Place organisation Lurgan Model Integrated Primary School & Nursery will:
• Support the Safe Place Campaign Pledge: never to commit, condone or stay silent
about domestic violence.
• Provide a safe place for victims of domestic violence to confidentially access
information.
• Acknowledge domestic violence is a problem that impacts on all of us as a society,
and will be prepared to play our part in supporting victims and state clearly to
perpetrators that we will not tolerate abuse in our community.
