Pharmacies across Ashby, Measham and North West Leicestershire are supporting a new domestic abuse scheme which allows victims to discreetly signal that they are in danger.
North West Leicestershire District Council is working in partnership with more than 80 per cent of pharmacies across the district who have signed up to take part in the Ask for ANI (Action Needed Immediately) scheme.
Domestic abuse victims will be able to 'Ask for ANI' as a codeword to signal to pharmacists that they need help.
Staff members will then offer to take the victim to a consultation room to check if they need a police response or help contacting a helpline or specialist support service.
Participating pharmacies include:
- Boots, Market Street, Ashby
- Tesco, Resolution Road, Ashby
- Ashby Pharmacy, The Green, Ashby
- Dean & Smedley, High Street, Measham
Along with:
- Boots, New Broadway, Coalville
- Lloyds Pharmacy, Whitwick Road Surgery, Coalville
- Well Pharmacy, Long Lane, Coalville
- Masons, Belvoir Road, Coalville
- Masons, Grange Road, Hugglescote
- Masons, North Street, Whitwick
- Evans Pharmacy, Borough Street, Castle Donington
- Listers, High Street, Ibstock
- Brennans Pharmacy, High Street, Ibstock
