Author: Safety App UK team
The Safety App UK team writes practical UK personal-safety guides: getting home safely, nights out, lone working, emergency tools and your rights under the law. Every guide is checked against official sources such as GOV.UK, legislation.gov.uk, police.uk, the NHS and the named charities, and is updated when laws, figures or helpline numbers change. Our guides are general information, not legal or medical advice. In an emergency, always call 999. Safety App UK is made by GGSHOP LIMITED.
