I liked that the focus was on ordinary situations: walking back to the car, being out alone and feeling uncomfortable in a conversation. Those were the parts I could relate to most.

VANE Personal Safety Guide
When something feels wrong, what comes next?
A digital guide to everyday awareness, personal boundaries and preparation. From the team behind the VANE true crime channel.
- Informed by the VANE team’s review of 1,000 true crime case studies
- Everyday awareness, personal boundaries and preparation
- One purchase. A guide to read and revisit at your own pace.
One-time payment · Instant access · No shipping
I came from the VANE channel. Having awareness, boundaries and preparation brought together in one guide gave me a different way to reflect on the stories.
The part about personal boundaries stayed with me. I often worry about seeming rude, so it was useful to spend some time thinking about my own comfort.
My wife and I read it separately, then talked about the situations that stood out to each of us. It gave us a starting point for a conversation we had kept putting off.
I prefer reading something I can pause and return to. The digital format suited me, especially when I wanted to revisit a subject without watching a whole video again.

RECOGNISE THE MOMENT
You know the feeling.
But not always the next step.
A familiar place can feel different. A conversation can become uncomfortable. The uncertainty is often the hardest part.
01
“Are they still behind me?”
Another turn. The same footsteps. You wonder whether to take that feeling seriously.
02
“Why does this place feel different?”
The car park has emptied. The walk back feels less familiar than it did earlier.
03
“How do I ask for more space?”
Someone keeps moving closer. You want distance, but do not want to seem rude.
WHAT’S INSIDE
One digital guide.
Three areas of focus.
Your purchase includes the VANE Personal Safety Guide in digital format. Three connected subjects bring the focus to the situations you recognise in everyday life.
