Domestic-abuse safe-response protocol & trained leads

Assesses if the organization has a domestic abuse safe-response protocol and trained leads, evaluating its commitment to safeguarding and providing a safe point of contact for victims. It explicitly defines the organization's role as providing first-response, immediate safety planning, and warm referral—not counselling, mediation, therapy, or legal advice. The protocol applies to disclosures from service users, congregants, staff/volunteers, and third-party concerns in both on-site and online settings.
