Keeping You Safe

If you feel that you’re involved in situations or relationships that don’t feel safe there are services that can support you.

Is someone asking you to do things that you don’t feel comfortable doing and are not sure how to say no?
Is someone messaging you that is making you feel uncomfortable?
Have you been asked to do something that is against the law for example pass some drugs onto someone?
Have your friends told you they are worried about you?
