I feel safe at home especially in my bed, does everyone feel safe at home?😍

I don't, sadly.
I wish I did but I don't due to my past trauma and where I live now is supposedly 'supported accommodation', but staff manipulate, lie and emotionally abuse and then there is the inappropriate male staff that unlock bedroom doors and ask me out on dates.
I'm utilising a women's charity to move to new housing, but it is all very underhand and uncertain.

Have you reported this to someone in authority?

This should not be happening.

I feel very safe in my flat, I have neighbours around and a small dog that would let me know if someone was trying to break in. He wouldn't do anything to them expect giving them a piece of his mind, but he's a good alarm.

I also have several fire alams + a co2 alarm. I had an asbetos survey that came back negative.

It's probably the most important thing to feel safe, in general and at home in particular. I feel for those who don't have that safety feeling.

I do, but I have a dog (Staffordshire bull terrier) and I think hes the main reason to be honest.

Yes I generally do - we're mid terrace with no back access so a robber would have to come through several gardens to get in the back & I doubt they'd bother 😂 Front door is pretty solid heavy wood. DH worked away in the week when the children were small & I would occasionally get spooked with a noise in the night but generally I was fine. Having little children made me braver because I knew I'd take on anyone to protect them!

Yes - we live in a cul de sac on a new build estate, have CCTV and outdoor lighting and great neighbours with similar set ups. House is alarmed and I can set the downstairs system when we are upstairs for the night.
