Safe in Salford

We are proud to be a Safe in Salford partner, delivering behaviour change programmes and support for children and young people.

Safe in Salford is for all adults, children and young people living in Salford who are affected by domestic abuse.

It is a collection of information and support services – here to help you make the right choices for you.

Behaviour Change Support

More information about the Safe in Salford behaviour change programmes we deliver:

Men's behaviour change

For those who identify as male and heterosexual. You will work through a combination of one-to-one and group sessions, spending time reflecting on your behaviour and the reasons behind it. Your Worker will not judge you, but will help you understand yourself and your relationships better through a process of enquiry, constructive challenge and growth.

The programme comprises:

Up to 10 individual 1 hour sessions with a practitioner

30 group sessions, where you will work alongside other men who are also on the programme

These take place each week, so on average each person works with us for around 40 weeks.

Inclusive programmes

We work hard to make sure our programmes are accessible, and to do this we work with each individual to shape our delivery around them. We deliver programmes for those who identify as LGBTQ+, those who do not have English as a first language, those who identify as female and many other groups who often experience challenges to accessing support services.

Worried about your behaviour?

We’re here for you if you’re concerned that you might be hurting, scaring or controlling your partner. Or if you’re worried you are struggling to control your feelings and actions.

Our team are caring, non-judgemental and will work with you to help you develop healthy relationships.

Relapse prevention

We run a relapse prevention group for everyone who has completed our programmes. We understand that maintaining change is hard, and there is no judgement for anyone who wishes to come back and refresh or rebuild their confidence to move forward in a non-violent way.

Does it really work?

"Being able to talk things through with someone who isn't critical of you - and isn't judging - meant that I was able to realise myself that my behaviour was wrong and so I think in that way, that made me take responsibility." Sajid, 32, programme participant
