Teeswide Safe Place Scheme

The Teeswide Safe Place Scheme aims to create and develop a network of safe places in key community
locations throughout each Tees Borough, for anyone who feels vulnerable, threatened or anxious due to real
or perceived behaviour of others around them.

The scheme, which promotes the well-being and independence of adults, is supported by Cleveland Police,
the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cleveland, the four Local Authorities across Tees and
independent agencies.

There are now 102 locations across Tees:

25 42 16 19

Hartlepool Stockton- Middlesbrough Redcar and
On-Tees Cleveland

There were some new venues introduced to the scheme this year, including more Cleveland Fire Brigade locations and there was some
keen interest from the Department of Work and Pensions (Jobcentres) and HSBC Banks, as well as local independent agencies in
joining the scheme.

Efforts will continue to recruit more venues into the scheme across Middlesbrough and Redcar & Cleveland in 2019/20 as well as
completing an audit of the existing venues across Tees to ensure that they remain suitable.

The TSAB website hosts all of the necessary resources, list of venues and a Google map of all participating locations.
