SAFE Tool Final revised 2025
The S.A.F.E. Tool is an inventory of questions designed to facilitate a discussion with a survivor about safety strategies related to firearms. When a survivor is concerned about threats of or actual firearms violence from an abusive partner, survivors and advocates can use this Tool to evaluate if, when, how, and for what period they want the abusive partner to be prohibited from access to firearms. The information obtained from this Tool can assist survivors when creating a comprehensive personalized plan to improve their safety and the safety of their child(ren) by allowing them to incorporate their strategies around firearms. This Tool is not a lethality assessment tool, nor should it be used as one.
