Keep Safe Essex
Keep Safe is a free scheme to help anyone with a learning disability or vulnerability living in Essex
Shops and other venues across the town display the Keep Safe sticker and will offer the use of a telephone or will make a phone call for members of the scheme if they are in need. For example, if they lose their keys, telephone or wallet, or they are distressed in any way.
Members join the scheme and are given a card that has the phone numbers of their contacts to call for help. We provide details about the venues supporting the scheme, which include shops, supermarkets and public places that will be a safe destination to go to.
If you or someone you work or care for is interested in joining the scheme, please complete this short application form.
We also welcome applications from venues who would like to provide a safe place for members of the scheme. Please complete this short application form.
