The Ask for Angela scheme encourages people on a first date (or who have met someone for the first time) - and who feel unsafe - to get help from bar staff.
Anyone in such a situation can get help from bar staff by simply asking to speak to “Angela."
Staff would then assist the person in leaving the venue discreetly and getting home or to a place of safety. This could mean calling for a taxi and making sure they get in it safely.
Venues wishing to get involved should contact their licensing officer for more information.
