Codeword scheme
If you are experiencing domestic abuse and need immediate help, ask for ‘ANI’ in a participating pharmacy. ‘ANI’ stands for Action Needed Immediately but also phonetically sounds like the name Annie.

They will offer you a private space, provide a phone and ask if you need support from the police or other domestic abuse support services.
