Current status
Branches of Safety is a project in development. The website does not currently accept referrals, provide casework, run support groups, represent people or deliver an emergency service. Descriptions of future support are plans, not offers or promises.
General information only
Resources explain common safeguarding ideas and help people organise their own thoughts. They are not legal, medical, therapeutic or social-work advice. Law, guidance and local practice change, and a general resource cannot determine what someone should do in a specific case.
No outcome promises
Using a worksheet, reflecting on concerns or contacting a service cannot guarantee reunification, a positive assessment, a court result or any other outcome. Branches of Safety will not encourage anyone to ignore professional advice, breach an order or undermine a safeguarding plan.
Your use of resources
You may print or save resources for personal, non-commercial use. Do not remove safety wording, sell them, present them as professional assessments or use them to impersonate Branches of Safety. Please link to the current page where possible so later corrections are not missed.
External links
Links are provided for convenience and signposting. External organisations control their own content, availability and eligibility. A link does not mean they endorse Branches of Safety or that we endorse every statement they make.
Accuracy and corrections
We aim to use reliable, current sources and clear dates. If something appears wrong or outdated, email branchesofsafety@gmail.com. Material changes should be reviewed and dated.
Urgent situations
Do not rely on this website or email inbox if someone is in immediate danger. Call 999. For a concern about a child, contact the child’s local authority children’s social care service or the NSPCC Helpline.
Future formal terms
Legal identity, governing law, intellectual-property ownership, liability wording and service-specific terms will be reviewed once the organisation’s structure and first services are decided. This draft deliberately does not make up a company or charity number.
