ShopSafe StaySafe Scheme
ShopSafe StaySafe ID scheme gives vulnerable people a temporary place to go if they are feeling confused, scared or upset or facing emergency when out and about in the town centre. Vulnerable people can include those who have a learning or physical disability, have an illness or severe medical condition or are feeling lost or confused.
By signing up to the scheme, members will be given an individual keyring/fob to identify themselves as needing assistance when they show it to staff in participating shops, cafes, restaurants, businesses and public buildings in the town centre. These can be identified as displaying a ‘ShopSafe StaySafe’ or ‘Dartford Town Against Crime’ window sign.
The scheme not only reassures vulnerable people that there are places to go if they need a little help whilst out and about in the town centre but also provides peace-of-mind to the people who care for them. They all know that the safe and supportive places will take care of them until more help arrives.
The Scheme is run by The Dartford Town Against Crime (DTAC) retail partnership, an accredited scheme which ensures that everybody’s personal information is correctly stored and used.
