Ask For Angela Safety Campaign
An innovative safety campaign which allows people who feel vulnerable in pubs or bars to discreetly signal for help, has recently been rolled out.
The scheme allows customers who could be feeling threatened or unsafe on a date to get help by approaching the bar and "Asking for Angela."
People can be taken aside or to a safe location so they can speak in confidence about what help they may need.
Staff could then call someone a taxi, contact their friends or family or ask the individual causing the distress to leave the venue.
