Carlow County Council pass the 'Ask for Angela' scheme to keep women and men safe in Carlow
Carlow County Council agrees subject to resources, to develop and launch a strategy with community partners including the An Garda Siochana, Love Carlow Business, Students Unions in SETU and Carlow College St. Patricks’, and the Taxi Federation regarding a joint initiative to keep women and men safe when socialising in Carlow.
The “Ask For Angela” initiative focuses on supporting people who feel unsafe, intimidated, or threatened in a social setting, and allows people to discreetly signal if they need help.
The scheme has been rolled out in Waterford City Council in 2017, Cork City Council in 2018, and Donegal and Drogheda City Councils in 2022. The council have yet to confirm a date for it's roll out in Carlow but the motion was passed on Monday.
The scheme has the full support of the Gardaí regarding the national roll-out of this campaign, and this is an opportunity for Carlow County Council to lead the way in ensuring community safety and committing to a zero-tolerance policy on sexual violence.
