SafeLives

SafeLives is a UK-wide charity dedicated to ending domestic abuse for everyone. It works with organisations at local, national and societal levels to improve how domestic abuse is recognised and addressed. The charity places survivors’ experiences at the centre of its work, using their expertise to shape support that better meets the needs of adults and children affected by abuse.

SafeLives conducts evidence-based research and analysis to build understanding of what helps prevent abuse, protect people from harm and support recovery. It offers training and resources for professionals and services, including courses, practical guidance, MARAC and DASH resources, and support for commissioners and practitioners. Its services also include the SafeLives Insights service and Leading Lights accreditation. The charity helps local systems review their practice and promotes effective, trauma-informed responses. Through its work in Scotland and across the UK, SafeLives supports collaboration, influences policy and champions best practice. It also shares research, survivor voices, news and resources to help professionals and partners improve domestic abuse responses.
