abuse and by each individual Borough across Tees. This is reviewed and updated periodically,

although it is not intended to be a definitive source of information for all service providers:

Teeswide Safe Place Scheme

Safe Place Scheme locations are venues in the community 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 reporting abuse.

The idea is that more vulnerable people can use the venues if they are

feeling unsafe. Many who benefit from the scheme never actually use
them, but the existence of them allows people to feel safer, and go out and

about more (live more independently).

More information and an interactive map of locations can be found here:
