We believe that everyone has the right to enjoy venues safely.

 

The safety initiative ‘Ask for Angela’ was rolled out to bars, clubs and other licensed businesses across London by the Metropolitan Police last year.

​

People who feel unsafe, vulnerable or threatened can discreetly seek help by approaching venue staff and asking them for ‘Angela’. This code-phrase will indicate to staff that they require help with their situation and a trained member of staff will then look to support and assist them. This might be through reuniting them with a friend, seeing them to a taxi, or by calling venue security and/or the police. 

 

Venues that support ‘Ask for Angela’ can choose to ensure their teams are trained  so that they know how to respond appropriately in various different scenarios.
