Safe Place Scheme at Unit 33

Unit 33 Health on the High Street service, in Aylesbury’s Friar Square Shopping Centre, is now a member of the Safe Place Scheme.

The Safe Place Scheme runs in many local towns and there a number of locations across Buckinghamshire. A Safe Place provides help and assistance when needed and can be identified by a Safe Place sticker on the window or door.

If a vulnerable person seeks help, a staff member of the Safe Place will help by making a phone call to someone the vulnerable person trusts or to one of the numbers on an emergency contact list provided to the premises. Staff at a Safe Place will also reassure and keep the vulnerable person safe until the situation was resolved.
