[SWAF-Potluck] Suggest Security Measures

[Barb]

ALWAYS MAKE A SAFE CALL!!!!

Do this in front of the client, be sure he/she/they hear you say where you are, as well as the time the session is scheduled to end.  Also, within the client's earshot, confirm that you will call immediately upon the end of the session.

Use a community password for emergency safe calls.  Let's hope nobody ever needs to make one, but if you find yourself in a situation where your guts are churning because you feel a potential threat, you excuse yourself for a moment and quickly call or text whoever your safe call person is.   If it's about to get real, skip this step and go straight to 911...

Staying ahead of LE is always a challenge but in any potentially violent situation, don't wait... Make the call!! You can survive being outed as an SP, you can survive having your kids abducted by government, you can survive being charged with outdated statutes and you may even survive a violent client...but what if you don't?  If money is the reason you might book a client without screening him/her/they for safety, sit down and re-evaluate!!  Money is nothing!! Don't hesitate!! CALL 911!!
