The Safe Place scheme in Slough
The Safe Place scheme has been set up to help people who might feel vulnerable when they are out and about in Slough.
Businesses who have signed up to the scheme will put a Safe Place sticker in their window. This shows it is a place where a vulnerable person can go in an emergency and get help to call the police, a family member, carer or support worker. An emergency could be when the person is unwell, scared or lost.
The businesses will provide somewhere safe to wait until help and support arrives.
A vulnerable person includes someone who:
- is elderly
- has a physical disability, including visual or hearing impairment
- has a learning disability
- has a mental health condition
- has an illness or condition.
Vulnerable residents can get a card to carry with them, with their emergency contact details.
Check Safe Places scheme on Slough Borough Council website or email communitysafety@slough.gov.uk for further details.
