A new Safe Spaces scheme has been introduced in Walsall, targeting young and vulnerable people.
With 14 registered venues dotted across the region, the aim is to make young people feel and be safer in Walsall.
The Safe Spaces scheme is designed for young people, by young people. It answers calls from young residents who asked for more venues where they can feel safe, meet new people and get help when they feel vulnerable.
Staff in each registered venue have been given specialist training to allow them to help young people accessing their services.
As a Rights Respecting School we feel sharing important information like this helps us to promote and adequately equip our young people with the knowledge of how to reduce risk factors of harm and keep themselves safer in the community.
