Overview
Safe Place Scheme locations are venues in the community (see map at the bottom of the page) where people who need extra support can go if they need some help. This ‘help’ can range from a phone call to home, or help with directions.
The idea is that vulnerable people can use these venues if they are feeling unsafe, whilst out in the community. Many who benefit from the scheme may never actually need to use it, but the existence of the ‘Safe Place’ venues allows people to feel safer, and go out and about more (live more independently).
