High Risk Cases of Violence Against Women in Relationships: Collaborative Safety Planning
This CCWS document is designed as an aid for workers, and focuses on the most common risk factors for lethality in domestic violence cases in order to identify risk and develop concrete safety plans for women and their children. It also builds understanding of the importance of working with other community agencies such as police, Children and Family Services, Crown Counsel, and First Nations resources, to name a few.
