Safety Houses

[suziewozie]

When we have been driving around Adelaide we have come across the sign

SAFETY HOUSE can anyone please explain this. Might be a silly question to most but not to us.

Thanks

Hi I think I am right in saying that they are houses of volunteers where anyone can go (Adults or Children) if they feel unsafe or threatened. The volunteers are police checked, if a child goes to one of the houses then they will take the child in and call necessary help. In the case of an adult they will keep the screen locked but call help. I know children are told about them at school. Someone maybe able to expand on this.
