Morrisons opens safe spaces in stores for domestic abuse victims

Morrisons is the first supermarket to offer a safe space where victims of domestic abuse can contact support services.

From Monday consulting rooms in pharmacies in 117 Morrisons stores will be designated safe spaces where Morrisons pharmacists – who have been specially trained – can direct those seeking help to the support they need.

The move comes after Morrisons has joined forces with the charity Hestia’s UK SAYS NO MORE campaign because a trip to a supermarket is such a routine activity it’s unlikely to alarm an abuser.
