Ask for Angela

Ask for Angela is a safety initiative designed to help individuals in uncomfortable or potentially unsafe situations, especially when they're out socialising. 

The concept is straightforward: if you’re in a bar, club, or any other public venue and you feel unsafe or need help, you can discreetly ask a staff member for "Angela." 

This code phrase signals to the staff that you need assistance, and they’ll know to provide help without drawing attention.

The Ask for Angela website includes a variety of resources as well as a handy series of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for the promotion of the scheme to staff and customers.
