The Safety Protocol was designed by the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence (WSCADV) to help domestic violence programs in Washington State expand their advocacy practices to provide quality services to victims with disabilities. It discusses how domestic violence victim advocates can expand their safety planning practices to include the many complex issues facing victims with disabilities. This will assist domestic violence advocates in developing a safety planning process that is adapted to a victim's individual situation and respects the victim's assessment of how disability issues affect safety planning.
