Men’s Safety Project
A site for men wanting to be safe within their relationships
I have decided after much thought to resign from the ‘Abuse Club’. I know I have been a member from a very young age, but I now find that I have outgrown what the club can offer me. I have also questioned over the past few months the very attitudes, principles and beliefs that the club is based on.

Men’s Safety Project is a site for men wanting to be safe within their relationship. The site can also be used by practitioners wanting to better support the men they’re working with, and by partners wanting to better understand abusive practices.
What the site covers:
- An easy to navigate home page which directs men to one of several safety orientated exercises, activities or information pieces
- Safety tips in written or audio format (for low literacy) which cover a range of topics from assessing and managing abusive practices to understanding the victims perspective
- Various questionnaires, checklists and reflection questions that invite men to be mindful of safety within their relationships
- A downloads section with easy to access, printable safety resources men can use to become safer within their families
- Innovative ‘100 Days of Safety’ email follow up system designed to keep safety front of mind for 100 days, and in the process change men’s habits around abusive practices
