Onus (Domestic Abuse and Violence) ‘Safe Place’ Webinar

What is SafePlace?

It is estimated that 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men will experience domestic abuse during their lifetime. Between April 2021 and March 2022 there were 33,186 domestic incidents and 21,723 domestic crimes recorded in Northern Ireland. We should also not forget the effect of this on children also living in domestic abusive environments.

Safe Place is a simple but very effective initiative that allows any church, business, organisation, school or community group to provide information and signposting to anyone affected by domestic and sexual abuse.

The Safe Place initiative does not involve providing direct support services to anyone living with domestic abuse, instead aims to raise awareness and build capacity to ensure anyone affected by domestic abuse is directed to support services.

Your Church can become a ‘Safe Place’

To become a Safe Place, churches need to attend a Safe Place Webinar and complete a simple registration form. They are then supplied with a range of ‘Safe Place’ resources and ongoing support from Onus.

What will the Webinar cover?

  • What is a Safe Place?
  • What would I have to do as a Safe Place?
  • What are the different types of abuse?
  • Who is affected by domestic abuse?
  • How do Safe Places make a difference?
  • What is the Safe Church Pathway?
