SAFETY
Family Safety
Framework
The Family Safety
Framework exists to
provide an integrated,
interagency approach to
supporting families most at
risk of experiencing death
or serious injury due to
domestic violence. Support
is provided in a structured
and systematic way, through
agencies sharing information
and implementing an action
plan with the priority aim
of reducing risk. Under the
Framework, VSS continues
to both participate in, and
provide administrative
support to, eighteen
meetings across the state
and is also a member of the
