Safe Place - Elmbridge

A Safe Place helps vulnerable people if they are feeling scared, confused, upset or anxious while out and about and need support right away. The scheme offers a safe way for vulnerable residents to alert someone about a potential risk or challenge, if they are out on their own.

The Elmbridge safe place scheme is primarily designed to support:

• people with memory loss

• people with learning disabilities

• people with physical disabilities or reduced mobility

• people with autism/autism spectrum disorder

• people with mental health concerns

• people who are deaf/ hard of hearing

• people who are blind or partially sighted

• older people

A safe place logo will be visible in a window or on a door to help vulnerable residents identify a registered venue or 'safe place'.
