PRIVATE SAFETY / SUPPORT BRIEF
Prepared by: [Your name]
For support professional: [Recipient / other party]
Date: [Document date]

Immediate situation and factual chronology:
[Facts and records]

Safe contact method and information that must not be shared with an unsafe person:
[Safe contact and sharing limits]

Existing reports, medical records, orders or other evidence, if safely available:
[Safely available records]

Assistance requested:
[What you want]

Please discuss safe next steps and whether urgent police, protection, medical or legal assistance is needed. I need advice appropriate to my circumstances and the applicable law. Record uncertainties separately; do not collect evidence in a way that increases danger.

Your next moves

  1. Seek appropriate police, protection or legal aid assistance.
  2. Ask the professional about safe contact, urgent options and evidence.

Real-world check

A private support brief is not a protection-order application. Do not delay urgent help to complete it; keep sensitive details off an unsafe device.
