BeSafer is part of the charity Safer which specialises in supporting and empowering victims of domestic abuse. BeSafer is run by our young people services, who work with children and young people who have either experienced domestic abuse in their own homes or in their own intimate relationships.
Our Domestic and Sexual Abuse Education Workers deliver lessons to young people in school years 6 to 13. Topics include identifying healthy and unhealthy relationships, supporting friends, challenging stereotypes, and knowing where to find help and how to stay safe.
They also run drop-ins once a term at all the secondary schools during lunchtime and at youth clubs for a more chill setting to talk about issues young people may be experiencing within their family or personal relationships.

A young person will be assigned one of the team to work with them in a way that is appropriate for their age and need, with the focus always being on safety and well-being. Their support is all about what’s best for you and moving at a pace that feels right. You can also talk to a trusted adult who could then make contact. The service is confidential within specific limitations and these are explained below.
