From today, anyone who is a victim of domestic abuse will be able to safely access vital support from thousands of pharmacies across the country, through the new 'Ask for ANI' (pronounced 'Annie') scheme.
Working with Independent Pharmacies and Boots, the Government has helped create this scheme to provide a vital lifeline to those who are not safe in their own home, enabling victims and survivors of abuse to seek immediate support, discreetly and safely.
Using the codeword will allow them to speak to a trained pharmacy worker in a private space about accessing police help and vital support.
