The Safe & Together Institute highlights aligned organizations as partners who are committed to strengthening professional practice and delivering meaningful outcomes for children and families affected by domestic abuse. Innovating Minds’ inclusion signals its growing impact in equipping services to move beyond awareness and into embedded, sustainable practice change.

“Being recognized by the Safe & Together Institute is a powerful validation of our commitment to real-world impact. Our work is about helping services feel confident and capable in responding to domestic abuse, ensuring that children remain visible, survivors are supported, and responsibility is placed where it belongs.”
