As the days grow shorter and the autumn evenings draw in, Wantage and Grove Neighbourhood Policing Team want to remind everyone about two important safety initiatives: Ask for Angela and the Oxfordshire Safer Place Scheme.
🔍 Ask for Angela
If you’re feeling unsafe, uncomfortable, or threatened in a pub, bar, or club, you can discreetly ask staff for “Angela.” This code alerts trained staff to help you get to a safe space, call a taxi, or contact someone you trust — no questions asked. 🏠Oxfordshire Safer Place Scheme
This initiative helps vulnerable people feel safe when out and about. Participating businesses and public buildings display a yellow logo in their window, showing they’re a designated safe place. If you’re lost, confused, or need help, you can go inside and ask for support. ✨ Tips to Stay Safe This Season:
• Plan your route home in advance.
• Keep your phone charged and accessible.
• Travel with friends when possible.
• Trust your instincts — if something feels wrong, seek help.
• Look out for the yellow Safer Place logo and remember “Angela” is there if you need it. Let’s look out for one another. Share this post to spread awareness and help keep our community safe 💛 #WantageAndGroveNHPT #AskForAngela #SaferPlaceScheme #CommunitySafety
