Empowering Families: Safety Online and At Home with Broxtowe Women’s Project

In the Borough of Broxtowe, domestic abuse casts a long shadow over the lives of many women, children, and families. At Broxtowe Women’s Project, we are committed to building safe, resilient futures through confidential support, guidance, and empowerment. Today, we want to join hands with #SafeHappyKidsOnline to highlight how safety – both at home and online can transform lives.

1. Holistic Safety Starts at Home

Broxtowe Women’s Project exists to support those experiencing emotional distress, abuse, or domestic violence in Nottinghamshire through a confidential helpline, outreach support, training sessions, and drop-in services. We provide personalised, compassionate support to help women and families heal and regain control of their lives.

2. Digital Safety: A Crucial Part of Modern Protection

In today’s connected world, children’s online experiences are a vital part of their lives and their safety. As featured on Safe Happy Kids Online, helpful practices include:

  • Talking openly about online content and risks like cyberbullying, stranger contact, and oversharing

  • Setting clear boundaries together with your child including device time limits, respectful behaviour expectations, and what’s okay to post or share

  • Installing parental controls, safe-search tools, and privacy filters to add essential layers of protection
