• We are becoming a Safe Place

  Tue 26 Nov 2024 NC

  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.

  On Remembrance Sunday, two year 7’s represented the school at the Act of Remembrance

  from Lurgan, facilitated by Lurgan Townscape Heritage.
