Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT) in collaboration with its Students’ Union has recently partnered with An Garda Síochána and the Vintners Federation of Ireland (VFI) to launch the ‘Ask for Angela’ campaign in venues where DkIT students socialise.

The ‘Ask for Angela’ initiative aims to support anyone on the premises of a bar or club that is utilised by the Students’ Union for events, who is experiencing inappropriate behaviour from another patron. You can go up to a member of staff and “Ask for Angela.” This subtle code lets staff know if a person is feeling uncomfortable and needs a way to get out of the situation. The staff member will discreetly help the person to find the best way to deal with the situation. Participating premises will have ‘Ask for Angela’ posters displayed, and management and staff will be briefed on how to help safeguard patrons.
