The safety map now features Safe Space venues across the UK.  Everyone tells us they want to plan safer nights out at pubs, clubs and restaurants that have safety initiatives in place. The WalkSafe safety map now shows the locations of venues that have been accredited by the police, councils or BIDs e.g. those who have Ask for Angela, Bystander training, Police LSAVI training or other safety initiatives. These are all marked within the icons on our map.

Everyone wants to plan safer nights out and the WalkSafe safety map now shows venues that have been accredited as safe spaces. These are venues the police, councils or BIDs have approved e.g. those who have Ask for Angela, Active Bystander training or other safety initiatives. These are all marked within the icons on our map.

Please contact support@walksafe.io Our team is ready to help you and answer any of your questions.

WalkSafe uses roads and is powered by Google maps and Apple Maps. Occasionally this can be a longer main road route and you may know a safe short cut. We do not use pedestrian routes as this can take you across fields and tow paths.

Remember your local knowledge is key. The route highlighted may not be the safest. Always try and use streets that are well lit and where there are other people. WalkSafe will follow the route you take so your trusted friends can see where you

are. If you don’t want to be tracked use HomeSafe. Both features automatically alert your friends if you don’t get to your destination on time.

Deleting the report is very simple. Just click the icon and then in the dialogue box click the all good / bin and the icon is deleted in a few minutes.

The crime map is still accessible however due to demand the map is now featuring safe spaces available across the UK. This helps everyone plan safer nights out. If you want to access the crime icons you can do this via the green menu button on the map and clicking “map preferences”. You need to turn the button on and the crime icons will appear.

We are working hard with councils and BIDs in all cities and towns to map their safety initiatives so people understand where they can go for a safer night out.

Please help us by using the feedback button in the safety icon. It is anonymous and will be reported back to the BID  or council so they can help retrain the venue. The feedback is simple with a couple of click buttons and the option for text only  if you want to use it.

If you click on the post it tells you how many days ago it was reported, how many people agree and if you disagree you can hit “All good”
