- Decide who at work you will inform. This should include office or building security.
Provide a copy of your protective order and a picture of your batterer if possible.
- Arrange to have an answering machine, caller ID, or a trusted friend or relative screen
your telephone calls if possible.
- Devise a safety plan for when you leave work. Have someone escort you to your car or
bus, and wait with you until you are safely en route. Use a variety of routes to go home by.
Think about what you would do if something happened while going home. If possible, carry
a cellular phone at all times.
