Safety Plan

Deciding whether or not to leave a partner is a difficult decision. There are counselors and victim advocates that can go over all options with you. You can use the phone numbers located in this handbook. If you decide to leave, you want the task to be accomplished quickly and you want to stay safe. The following are some suggestions to help you with this move.

Items you should have ready to take with you when you leave:

Your purse or wallet- including driver’s license, money, and social security and credit cards, your phone, house and car keys

Any other forms of ID – green card, passport, birth and marriage or divorce certificates

Legal documents – children’s birth certificates, children’s health and school records, copy of protection order, lease or rental agreement, check book, insurance

Health items – medications, health records, crutches or other needed devices

Emotional items – children’s small toys and blankets, pictures and small sentimental items, jewelry

Once you leave you need to decide who will tell about your situation. There are people who can help you with this transition. Here are some more suggestions for your safety.

At Work:

Tell security at your work about the situation and give them a picture of the abuser. Ask others or use a machine to screen your calls if possible. Have someone escort you to your car at the end of your shift. Use different routes to your new home and have your phone available at all times.

At Your New Home:

Tell your neighbors and landlord that your former partner does not live with you and that they should call the police if they see the abuser near your home. Tell people at your children’s school or day care who has permission to pick up your children and who does not. Give them a copy of the protection order. Make sure to lock doors and windows. Use a window or peephole before opening the door. Make sure there is adequate outdoor lighting. Change all passwords on your phone and accounts. Instruct your children who they can talk to and who they can open the door to. Explain to them calmly why this is happening.

Section 25.

1. 1. To preserve and protect the right of crime victims to justice, to ensure crime victims a meaningful role throughout the criminal and juvenile justice systems, and to ensure that crime victims' rights and interests are respected and protected by law in a manner no less vigorous than the protections afforded to criminal defendants and delinquent children, all victims shall be entitled to the following rights, beginning at the time of their victimization:

The court or other authority with jurisdiction shall act promptly on such a request, ensuring that no right is deprived without due process of law, and affording a remedy by due course of law for the violation of any right. The reasons for any decision regarding disposition of a victim's right shall be clearly stated on the record.
3. The granting of these rights to victims shall not be construed to deny or disparage other rights possessed by victims. All provisions of this section apply throughout criminal and juvenile justice processes and are self-enabling. This section does not create any cause of action for damages against the state, any political subdivision of the state, any officer, employee, or agent of the state or of any of its political subdivisions, or any officer or employee of the court.

The term "victim" does not include the accused or a person whom the court finds would not act in the best interests of a deceased, incompetent, minor, or incapacitated victim.
