Personal Safety Plan Example
The following is an example of a Personal Safety Plan
developed using articles in this book. The plan is designed for working
parents, with a three-year-old in daycare, who own a home in a Midwestern
city, and enjoy outdoor activities. (Not all of the potentially applicable
articles are listed in the example below.)
You may make copies of individual articles to put
in a binder for each member of your family. To facilitate periodic reviews,
highlight the safety tips that you find particularly helpful.
