Agree on a secret code word with them that you will use to alert them when you are in danger and they should immediately call the police. You can also choose a code word with your children so they can protect themselves during a violent episode.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Make sure you can pick up your clothes and belongings and those of your children quickly. If your partner then asks you what you&#8217;re doing, give a reason, like &#8220;I&#8217;m cleaning&#8221; or &#8220;I&#8217;m getting the kids&#8217; clothes ready for tomorrow morning&#8221;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Avoid areas where knives or firearms are stored.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Walk through every room in your home and imagine how you can escape. Do everything you can to avoid dead-end rooms in the presence of your partner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Find the best places to escape on the first floor, second floor and basement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>You can aid your children in escaping by specifying a designated meeting place where you can all regroup. Teach them how to dial 9-1-1 in case of emergencies (accidents, harm to themselves or you, or if they feel in danger).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Always trust your judgment and intuition. If the situation becomes very dangerous, you need to think ahead about how to calm your aggressor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Review and check your safety plan regularly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Always remember that your priority is your safety and that of your children.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scf.gouv.qc.ca\/index.php?id=61\">Government of Quebec, <em>Protection scenario<\/em><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">How to organize?
