The Safe Places Scheme was launched in Witney today at the West Oxfordshire District Council Committee Room today.
19 shops and community facilities including the Windrush Centre are now designated Safe Places.If someone with a disability or who is frail and elderly feels vulnerable, lost or bullied or threatened in some way, they can go to a Safe Place to ask the Safe Place to call a known supporter or family member. They show the distinctive Safe Places logo in the window which is issued by the local police who approve the Safe Places.
