What is an emergency plan?
A woman who realises she may have to leave home urgently can be greatly assisted by being prepared. She needs to plan where she and the children would go, how they would get there and what she would take. The following checklist may help:
- keep and bring with you birth and marriage certificates, passports and any other legal documents that you have access to.
- Have important telephone/typetalk numbers available (refuge, friend, family)
- Hide some money, credit cards, open your own savings account
- Have necessary medication put aside
- Have someone write out a statement of your situation in English if you are not English speaking
- Have packed bag with change of clothes, toiletries, toys, hidden or at someone else’s house.
