Staff at a shop in #Thanet say they've seen an increasing number of children coming in because they're feeling unsafe.

The Schoolwear Centre in #Margate set up the Ask for Gus scheme last November as a way of trying to tackle bullying.

They know that any child who comes in and says the phrase is being targeted and are then offered support and can stay until they're ok.

Siobhan Margetson works there.
