This week, the Government are launching their ‘codeword’ scheme to make it easier for people to ask for help at the pharmacy or supermarket. ‘Ask for Ani’ encourages people to say the codeword so that they can be taken to a private consultation room or safe place so that they then have the option to call the Police, the National Domestic Abuse Helpline, or a local domestic abuse service. We can all take action to become ‘Domestic Abuse Aware’ and prepare to respond effectively to a disclosure of domestic abuse. We are running a series of webinars to discuss the ‘Ask for Ani’ scheme and to assist you with becoming ‘Domestic Abuse Aware’. These sessions will be approximately 45 minutes long and will cover, what the ‘Ask Ani’ scheme is, how you can effectively respond to a disclosure, who IDAS are and the services we provide, and we will also allow time to answer your questions. We are running a number of these to make is as easy as possible for our partners and other professionals to attend. Please do share this information widely. The dates are as follows: January 26 | 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm January 27 | 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm February 2 | 7:30 am – 8:30 am February 3 | 9:00 am – 10:00 am Upcoming Training can be found here: Sheffield and Barnsley Rotherham Doncaster Chesterfield Worksop Ask for ANI codeword scheme Ask for ANI has been developed by the Home Office with the domestic abuse sector to provide a simple and discreet way for victims to signal that they need immediate help from the police or other support services. The scheme will go live early next year, and in preparation for this we have shared materials with participating pharmacies to ensure staff are familiar with the training and guidance. The training resources include a short video and guidance documents on responding to the codeword and information about domestic abuse. To inform customers that staff are ready to respond, pharmacies are also required to display Ask for ANI posters. The Ask for ANI training and promotional resources are available on gov.uk. Separate training resources and co-branded posters are also available to those already participating in the Safe Spaces scheme. If you have any questions or feedback, please email us at AskforANI@homeoffice.gov.uk. Thank you in advance for your support with this important scheme. Domestic Abuse Awareness and ‘Ask for Ani’

Launch of Safe Spaces
I am very pleased to announce the launch of a new service dedicated to the support and accompaniment of those who have suffered abuse within the Church, which will complement the existing support services within the Catholic Church in England and Wales.
Safe Spaces, a joint Catholic/Anglican initiative, is the fruit of an ongoing collaboration between the churches who wish to reach out to and support those who have experienced such abuse. The charity Victim Support (VS) will independently manage the project with the aim of offering help to anyone who may have experienced trauma in the context of church activity. Their experience in offering support to victims of abuse, support which not only puts victims first but which is also informed by their experience, is a great step in helping us to hear and respond in a more concrete way to their needs.
Bishop Paul Mason, Lead Bishop for Safeguarding
