Petition Promote a safe word children can say to indicate they are hurt or being abused
I would like a safe word much like 'Ask for Angela' to be taught to children from Nursery age upwards and publicly advertised so everyone knows what it means, so any children who are being hurt or abused can say this to someone, and hopefully receive the support they need.
More details
In light of the many children whose lives have sadly been lost at the hands of their abusers. If there was a name or a safe word that wasn't scary to them to say, a child could say it to a social worker, in the supermarket, to the school, or to anyone, and that person would know that child was in danger and needed help.
