About
Over recent years, a range of ‘safe places’ have been established if you are experiencing domestic abuse and need help while you are out and about. These have a range of purposes, from providing direct support to you or helping you have free and easy access to local or national helplines.
In Somerset, you will find these safe places in many supermarkets including Morrisons, Tesco and Asda, plus banks such as Natwest, Lloyds, HSBC and TSB.
There are also many independent pharmacies and chains such as Boots and Superdrug. You will see posters advising what to do, or can ask staff at the counter to use the consultation room or their ‘Safe Space’, where you then will be able to contact services for help and advice.

Online Safe Spaces
Online Safe Spaces, delivered in partnership between UK says NO MORE and Royal Mail Group, web pages with information on specialist domestic abuse support services, national helplines and other resources. The web page does not appear in Internet browsing history.
Online Safe Spaces are currently accessible through the Royal Mail, Parcelforce, eBay and Post Office external websites, and on the Ministry of Defence’s internal Intranet.
By clicking on the Safe Spaces logo on each of these sites, you will be automatically taken to an Online Safe Space and presented with information and resources on domestic abuse.
