• aims to build resilience in children by helping them to gain skills and confidence in their ability to make decisions in a range of situations
• provides information for families about preparing their children to stay home and be safe
• builds on family strengths 
• provides opportunities for families to work together in creating safe and positive environments for children
• can be adapted to meet specific risk needs of individual families. 

The seven steps are:

Step 1 - Make your place safe

Step 2 - Cool tools for family rules

Step 3 - Feel safe with people

Step 4 - What's special about our family?
