Hooe none of you ever need to do this but it could help someone....

TO ALL DJ'S, DOOR STAFF, BAR STAFF, MANAGERS and anyone going out to a Fab meet, party or a date.

A dj was approached while working by a young girl and asked for the first time, "Is Angela working tonight?" - having read about the #AskforAngela initiative He knew instantly what she was referencing, said yes, told her to jump in the DJ booth with him, (she was extremely nervous...) and in turn asked the nearest security guard the same question. Luckily, he too knew, and the young girl was escorted through the back of the venue and into a taxi immediately. Her "date" upon returning from the bathroom was asked to leave by management, he without delay turned violent and security stepped-in.

Basically, #AskforAngela is a scheme in place (established in the UK) which aims at reducing sexual violence and vulnerability by providing WOMEN and MEN with a subtle phrase to assist getting them out of potentially dangerous and helpless situations. First-dates, Tinder-dates or frankly getting home alone after a night out can unfortunately (history-proven) be a risk. I urge all DJs, venues, those in hospitality/night-life to look into the concept and educate yourselves and your staff. It may seem extreme, but sometimes you may be someones only option,

Hiding in the shadows

I do door work, we've recently been given booklets on this scheme, and I know several local bars are now training their staff on it.

Part of our job, relies on us being able to read body language, spot signs of distress, but in a crowded busy environment, it isn't always that easy

It's a great idea, and I hope it helps people avoid potential situations x
