AN INNOVATIVE campaign to help those who feel threatened on dates is to be launched in Worcester.

Student services staff at the University of Worcester have been working closely with Worcester City Council and Night Safe to bring the "Ask for Angela" campaign to city centre venues.

Those who find themselves in an uncomfortable situation, at the receiving end of an inappropriate comment or unwanted attention are encouraged to go to the bar and "Ask for Angela" - a phrase aimed at alerting staff so they can help defuse the situation discreetly.

City venues taking part in the campaign include Tramps, Velvet, Mode, Alexanders, The Crown, Heroes, The Royal Exchange and McDonalds.

For further information or to put your venue forward for the campaign, contact Lucy Sandwell at studentlife@worc.ac.uk or Hayley Turner at community.safety@worcester.gov.uk.
