Pubs, bars and clubs that have signed up for a scheme designed to protect people on nights out from harassment and unwanted advances are not implementing it, a BBC undercover investigation has found.
The Ask for Angela initiative, a not-for-profit project in place at thousands of venues nationwide, aims to provide a discreet lifeline for those feeling unsafe.
Those concerned about their safety are advised to use the code word "Angela", to indicate to bar staff they are in need of help.
But secret filming by BBC researchers found that in half of the London venues they visited, including major chains, staff failed to respond when the code word was used.
The BBC received similar reports from across the UK. The Ask for Angela scheme says the BBC’s findings are concerning.
