The Safe Places scheme in Cornwall is managed by the CHAMPS team, a group of eight people with a learning disability employed by the Council. Safe Places are local businesses or services who have signed up to the scheme, and who offer assistance if a person with a learning disability or autism comes in asking for help.
The Safe Place helps to calm the person and, if required, call their contact person, which is noted on a Safe Place card that we encourage them to carry. If ...the person is in immediate danger or they have reported bullying or harassment we ask for the police to be called. If the person is not in immediate danger, but the business or service is concerned about them then we ask them to contact the Safeguarding team.
The registered Safe Place is identified by having a Safe Place sticker in their front window. The scheme is supported by Devon and Cornwall Police and Cornwall People First.
