Dear
Member,
Some of you may have seen on the news a new scheme to help victims of domestic abuse, called ‘Ask for ANI’. ANI stands for Assistance Needed Immediately in pharmacies to let staff know that they require an emergency police response or help contacting a helpline or specialist support service.
Participating pharmacies will display posters in their window and around the pharmacy to let customers know they can approach their staff to seek help.
How does it work?
- The victim
will come into the pharmacy and ‘Ask for ANI’
As always, if you require further support please contact the PharmaPlus
team.
- Accompany the
victim to the consultation room
- Check whether
the victim is in danger and wants the police to be called – if so dial 999 on the victims behalf
