Safe Places Derby

'Safe Places' are a network of venues across Derby City where women, girls, vulnerable adults and young people can seek help and support if they are concerned about their safety whilst they are away from home.

​

The initiative is part of the Safe Derby campaign, which is backed by the Home Office's Safer Streets funding stream - secured through The Office of Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner - and jointly led by Derby City Council and other key voluntary and charity partners including local specialist child exploitation charity Safe and Sound Group. It aims to rally communities across the city to tackle, challenge and prevent violence against women and girls in public places, to stand as a city free from and with zero-tolerance for gender-based violence, abuse, harassment and exploitation.

​

Venues in the network display the 'Safe Places Derby' sticker to show that they are a safe place for people to ask for help if they feel unsafe.
