Stop the situation getting worse, settle yourself and work out the next safe step.
Step 1 of 5Make it safe
Make it safe
Check the situation honestly before anything else.
Is anyone injured, frightened or currently unsafe?
Has anything been damaged?
Are children or other vulnerable people involved?
Is there a weapon or an immediate threat?
Am I at risk of hurting myself or someone else?
If there is immediate danger, injury, a weapon, threats or a risk of further harm, move away from the situation if it is safe to do so and call emergency services. In Australia, call 000. Do not keep talking while anyone feels unsafe.
