Ask Joan

Raise the alarm, without making a sound.

Ask Joan turns ordinary household appliances into a silent panic alarm. Someone who feels unsafe can call for help by flicking the switch of a kettle, an air fryer or a pair of straighteners — without saying a word, and without a device an abuser could find. Created by a survivor, it has been used in cases of domestic abuse, child abuse, stalking and harassment.

Rolled out through local services and organisations, with setup and support tailored to each area.

How we build

Built around the people who use them

Survivor-led

Survivors’ voices guide our decisions, so every product is practical, respectful and grounded in real needs.

Safety-led

Every product puts safety, confidentiality and trust first — because protection is the foundation of recovery.

Discreet by design

Help should never add to the risk. Our tools work quietly, through technology people already have, with nothing visible to give them away.

This couldn’t have come at a better time, it is just the thing to help me to have peace of mind … I love the idea that I can also teach my young son how to call for help if I was to be taken ill.
