Your Leisure is Supporting the Community Shield Scheme
What is The Community Shield scheme?
Thanet District Council's Community Shield Scheme encourages local businesses to sign up to be a safe place to help those in immediate need of a place of safety. The Community Shield Scheme can also help those who are lost or in more extreme situations when they have been a victim of a crime or are in need of medical assistance. Members of the safe places scheme will be able to offer a safe location within the organisation and offer the person support while contacting the relevant authorities.
Thanet District Council will be providing cards that residents can collect from any of the organisations displaying the Community Shield Scheme logo. These cards enable a vulnerable person or child to provide their emergency contact details. This is so that the employee of the organisation will contact that person and they can come and collect them. The aim of the scheme is to protect the local community.
How do I locate a Safe Place?
Safe places will have our logo in the window of the organisation. You can also download the safe places app which will identify safe places near to your location https://www.safeplaces.org.uk/apps/
