Notes:	Presents the methodology and findings of a US study that explored, through a series of structured interviews with mothers who had suffered intimate partner abuse, the nature and diversity of safety planning strategies adopted by victims, and their relative effectiveness in securing safety for the woman and her children. The findings suggest that help-seeking behaviours such as contacting domestic violence shelters and/or programmes are most successful in improving women’s immediate situation but it is argued that no strategy identified was universally appropriate and that further research and resources must be directed towards enabling women and children to escape abusive relationships safely.
