The discreet portal opens in a pop-up window from Buckinghamshire Council’s website. The portal provides support, advice and helpful contact numbers for those at risk of domestic abuse. It leaves no internet history trace and provides quick exit options for the person seeking information.
To access the portal, people simply need to click on the Safe Spaces logo, which can be found on the footer of every page of the Buckinghamshire Council website.
Arif Hussain, Deputy Cabinet Member for Community Safety, commented:
“Sadly, domestic abuse continues to be a crime that people do not feel they can report.
“To help with this in Buckinghamshire, we’ve launched our Online Safe Space, where people experiencing domestic abuse can access support and information. Simply click the Safe Spaces logo on our website to access the portal. This won’t show up in your browsing history.”
Buckinghamshire Council is also working to raise awareness of the signs of domestic abuse and the support that is available through its Domestic Abuse Red Flags campaign.
