This not-for-profit safety initiative began in Lincolnshire in 2016 and was adopted by the Metropolitan Police and Safer Sounds in London. It enables individuals who feel vulnerable or unsafe during a night out in licensed venues to discreetly request help by asking staff for “Angela”. Staff trained through WAVE (Welfare And Vulnerability Engagement) are then able to guide the person to a safe space, call them a taxi, contact venue security or the police, all in a subtle manner. The scheme empowers patrons across gender identities and backgrounds to seek support confidently in nightlife settings.
