Safe Spaces Dover District

What is a Safe Space and where can I find them?

Dover District Council have partnered with Kent & Medway Violence Reduction Unit and Kent Police to promote this Safe Space Scheme to local venues that are publicly accessible and that have pledged to act as a point of contact for any person in the community who might require quick time, short-term assistance upon feeling vulnerable whilst out in the community.

The venues could be cafes, libraries, shops or other types of locations that have a quieter area that can be used to temporarily sit a person in need of quick help. That person in need might be scared, confused, unwell, lost or have just been the victim of a crime. The person might need a friend or family to be contacted or to borrow a phone or sit for a few minutes to get their bearings.  

The Safe Spaces can also be identified from outside by seeing the below logo on an A4 size sticker placed on the door or window near the entrance to the Safe Space. 

Here is the map of Safe Space locations in the Dover District. Please zoom in and click the blue pins for more details of those venues.
