"Because it's so discreet, it makes me feel a lot more confident and reassured that someone is looking out for me and someone is looking out for the women as well."

Swwop partner with SoloProtect to support their outreach and office staff.

SWWOP is a compassionate and dedicated charity that extends a helping hand to women involved in street prostitution. Their primary focus is on establishing contact and building relationships with these women, offering non-judgmental and confidential support along with vital information.

Through street-based outreach and regular drop-in sessions, SWWOP strives to improve the health and safety of this vulnerable group and the wider community. Swwop have partnered with SoloProtect to ensure their workforce has an added layer of protection whilst working out in the community or in the office during drop-in sessions.

Swwop employees use SoloProtect ID Classic as a means to quickly and discreetly call for help in an emergency e.g. if they’re faced with violence or abuse, or if they suffer an unexpected health issue, slip, trip or fall.

Beth Webster, Swwop Deputy Manager, explains why they chose to partner with SoloProtect for their lone worker safety solution:

"There is a great deal of risk in our line of work so personal safety is paramount for us as an organisation. Our colleagues sometimes face challenging situations and behaviours when out in the community, particularly given the nature of our work and the fact we work anti-social hours.

The personal safety devices from SoloProtect give our employees assurance that support will be available at the press of a button. It also provides the reassurance that if they fall, or something happens to them, the incapacitation alarm feature will kick in and help to get assistance to them."

Swwop Service Manager, Rosie Peers, explains how, as a manager she gets reassurance and peace of mind knowing her colleagues are supported whilst working in the community in the evenings, or indeed during the drop-in sessions during the day:

"We are thrilled to be partnering with SoloProtect. Their personal safety solution provides our staff with peace of mind while they are out on the streets, supporting the valuable work they do. As the manager, it is extremely comforting to know that my team has that extra layer of protection. This partnership reinforces our commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of our staff as they carry out their important mission."
