Safer Places provide a safe temporary place to go if a vulnerable person feels distressed, worried or scared while out in the community.
Places which have joined the scheme can be identified by a Safer Places sticker at the entrance.
People who join the scheme will have a Keep Safe card, which will include the names and contact numbers of two relatives or friends who be called on for help.
They will need to show this card to obtain help in the establishments who have signed up to the scheme.
