WALKSAFE: Download this handy app to help you feel safer this Tramlines weekend
Have you planned how you're getting home tonight?
Whether you're enjoying the Tramlines festivities or you're out and about elsewhere, WalkSafe is a handy app to have downloaded on your phone to help you plan your journeys and nights out in the safest way.
This personal safety app, which launched in South Yorkshire yesterday, can help you plot a safer route home and shows you which venues in your area are designated a 'safe space' for meeting relevant safety training standards. You can share your live location with trusted contacts, and the app will notify loved ones when you get home safe.
Pictured here are Chief Supt Jamie Henderson, WalkSafe founder Emma Kay and Kayleigh Waine from Safe Square: Sheffield, which is one of the 'safe spaces' plotted on the app's safety map. Safe Square: Sheffield offers free medical and welfare facilities for anyone who may need it and will be open on Barker's Pool in Sheffield tonight and tomorrow night from 10pm until 4.30am.
