The "Safe from the Start" project is developed by the Salvation Army Tasmania and funded funded by the Commonwealth Office for Women.

The project has two parts:-

Part One investigates and researches intervention tools designed to assist parents, non-specialist children workers and play group leaders to hold therapeutic conversations with young children aged 0-6 exposed to domestic voilence.

Part Two involves devising and running a training course for children workers on the effects of domestic voilence on young children, and on the use of the intervention tools found to be effective from Part One.
