Interested in becoming a
NeuroSafe Space?
NeuroSafe Spaces works with businesses across Liverpool, that want to help build a more inclusive city.
By becoming a NeuroSafe Space, your venue contributes to a growing network of places where people who experience sensory overwhelm can feel more confident accessing everyday environments.
Each business that joins helps extend the reach of this network, creating more opportunities for people to feel welcomed, supported and included in community life. Together, these small actions contribute to meaningful and lasting positive change.
Why It Matters
It can be easy to assume that a welcoming environment speaks for itself. However, for people who are neurodivergent, this is not always clear. Uncertainty about unfamiliar environments can quickly lead to feelings of overwhelm or anxiety.
For many, not knowing how they might be perceived or supported in a new space can result in avoiding public environments altogether.
By displaying the NeuroSafe Spaces decal, participating venues provide a clear and reassuring visual signal that their space recognises these challenges.
It demonstrates a visible commitment to inclusion and helps create a sense of community where everyone feels they belong.
How It Works
Becoming a NeuroSafe Space is designed to be a simple process, easy to implement within everyday environments and at no additional cost.
-
Participating venues agree to display the NeuroSafe Spaces window decal, providing visitors with a clear visual signal that the space recognises the challenges some people experience when navigating public environments.
-
Visitors who see the decal know that they are welcome. They can locate the poster inside and access simple grounding tools by scanning the QR code linked to the NeuroSafe Spaces resources.
The initiative does not require specialist training or structural changes - it is built around awareness, patience and small acts of understanding.
People using a NeuroSafe Space may:
• sit or stand quietly for a few minutes
• wear headphones, ear defenders or the green sunflower lanyard
• avoid eye contact
• make sounds or movements such as hums or rocking
This is simply someone taking a moment to regulate themselves. Your understanding helps them feel safe.
