Keep Safe Scotland
Keep Safe Scotland is a network of safe places within communities across Scotland.
Who it's for
Although the network of safe places is open to everyone, the scheme is aimed at people who feel more vulnerable when out in the community. This might because they have:
- a sensory impairment
- a physical disability
- a learning disability
- a mental health issue
- health or mobility issues due to age
Where safe places are located
Approved safe places always have an official sticker to let people know that they're part of the scheme.
You can find safe places in different types of premises, including:
- shops
- shopping centres
- cafés
- libraries
- recreational facilities
All safe places are screened by Police Scotland. If you need help whilst you're at one of these place, you can ask trained staff for assistance.
How you can find safe places
You can find safe places using the Keep Safe Scotland app.
This app lets you:
- identify the nearest safe places, including those in the Clackmannanshire and Stirling Health and Social Care area
- plan a route
- contact Police Scotland, if you need to
The app is free, and is available for both Android and iOS devices.
