Safeguarding

In a new pilot, victims of domestic abuse will now be able to ‘Ask for ANI’ in 18 Job Centres and job and benefit offices across the UK. Anyone using the codeword will receive support from a trained staff member who will guide them to a safe and private space where they can help call the police or specialist domestic abuse services. Building on the success of the scheme in pharmacies across the UK, the Ask for ANI codeword scheme pilot offers a discreet route to get urgent help and support.
