Safe places

Lots of people feel unsafe at times in their local area; this might be because they have experienced crime or because they simply feel unsafe. For disabled people, older people and others who feel vulnerable this sometimes means they don’t go out at all. The Safe Places scheme enables people to feel more confident in accessing their local community. You can find out more about Safe Places by clicking on the white arrow in the image above.

Changing Our Lives facilitates the Safe Places scheme in Sandwell, Wolverhampton, Walsall and Birmingham. Feedback from individuals has shown that when people know where the local Safe Places are they feel more confident to go out, knowing that if they need help, there will be a Safe Place local to them.

  • Mental Health People's Parliament

    The People’s Parliament is a strategic body led by MPs with recent lived experience of mental health difficulties. Its function is to hold decision makers to account for improvements in services and supports so that people who experience mental health difficulties can have an improved quality of life and be in greater control of their own mental wellbeing. The Parliament is located in the Metropolitan Borough of Sandwell, just outside Birmingham.

  • Safe places

    The Safe Places scheme is based on the belief that everyone has the right to feel confident and safe going out in their local community. Lots of people feel unsafe at times in the local area; this might be because they have experienced crime or because they simply feel unsafe. For disabled people, older people and others who feel vulnerable this often means they don’t go out at all. The Safe Places scheme enables people to feel more confident, access their local areas more and know what to do.
