We work alongside young Londoners. We’re here to listen to you. Together we’ll find out how we can make you feel safe and stay safe.
We’re not an emergency service, but if you’re worried about your safety there are ways we can help you.
If you or a friend are facing threats of violence in the community, or are worried about abuse and harm from others we offer support to find ways to keep you safe.
Our support is based on your individual circumstances and needs. We offer one to one support, where one of our team will work with you over a period of six months to two years. Together we’ll work on aspects of your life such as safety planning and self-esteem building.
If you require support but not sure where to start you can call the team on 0207 021 0301 (choose option 1) or email Referrals@saferlondon.org.uk. They can talk you through what support is available. Or you can fill out the referral from by clicking the button below.
