10-site pilot design
Phase 1 identifies ten high-risk UK bridge categories across appropriate public-place contexts, such as motorway corridors and transport-adjacent routes. Named sites are not published.
LEG8CY SOS is a safeguarded bridge-intervention system in development: a visible help point, a trained two-operator response, and an aftercare route for people who need human contact in the moment.
This page uses plain structure because governance matters here. Funders, councils, commissioners, and safeguarding partners need to see exactly where the work sits.
The registered Community Interest Company. Company number 14611102. Social Legacy CIC holds the governance, policies, accounts, safeguarding responsibility, and contracting route.
The bridge-intervention programme within Social Legacy CIC. It is not a separate company. It is the dedicated programme line for bridge work, aftercare pathways, and partner-funded suicide-prevention infrastructure.
The proposed bridge help-point system: observable trigger, voice connection, two-operator response, human handoff, and aftercare route. It is pre-pilot and requires clinical, safeguarding, data, insurance, and site-owner sign-off before live deployment.
The high-street wellness café concept is a separate operating entity under the Social Legacy CIC umbrella. It has its own page, venue pathway, and Cheshire East capital relationship.
LEG8CY SOS is not a predictive mental-health tool. It does not claim to know who someone is, what they intend, or what they are feeling. The system is designed around observable behaviour at a public hotspot and a simple offer: press the help point and speak to a trained human route.
Every live deployment must put human response above automation. The technology is the bridge to the operator, not the care itself.
Camera and button hardware identify a possible support moment or receive an active ring. No facial recognition. No identity matching. No public-facing location detail beyond site category.
The first voice is calm and brief. It offers connection without judgement, diagnosis, pressure, or dramatic language. Samaritans Media Guidelines shape the public wording.
One operator holds voice contact. One operator coordinates practical response, escalation, and handoff. The model is human-led and partner-vetted before live use.
Aftercare is not a slogan. It means peer support, Walk & Talk, neurodiversity-informed support, recovery partners, and signposting into qualified services where needed.
The forward plan is staged because this work cannot be launched on enthusiasm alone. Every phase needs permission, safeguarding review, and evidence.
Phase 1 identifies ten high-risk UK bridge categories across appropriate public-place contexts, such as motorway corridors and transport-adjacent routes. Named sites are not published.
Phase 2 tests whether the protocol is safe, usable, lawful, and useful. Evaluation must review false positives, false negatives, operator load, privacy, and aftercare handoff.
Phase 3 is only available if the evidence supports it. The route is public-sector, commissioner, and partner-led — not a viral product launch.
The technology is only credible if the people, roles, and safeguards around it are credible.
Founder and Director of Social Legacy CIC. Scott is the concept owner and interim safeguarding lead while the co-director recruitment process is active.
Social Legacy CIC is actively recruiting co-directors through the /join apply-and-vet engine. Governance roles are separated from weekly delivery roles.
The response profile is two-person: voice connection and practical coordination. Individuals are not named publicly without consent and safeguarding clearance.
Partner categories include peer support, walk-and-talk hosts, neurodiversity-informed support, addiction recovery partners, bereavement support, and clinical signposting.
The SOS citation pack currently maps 14 sources against a 9-claim audit. It sits underneath every funder-facing sentence about the bridge work. Samaritans Media Guidelines sit over the top as the public-communication standard.
Structural interventions at suicide hotspots have strong evidence in systematic review and meta-analysis. LEG8CY SOS does not claim the same effect size; the pilot exists to test whether a human voice-and-response layer can add value within a safeguarded protocol.

Public Health England's practice resource treats public-place suicide prevention as a specific operational field involving site audit, signage, partnership, environmental design, and response planning.

The literature supports a time-sensitive prevention model, but this page avoids unsourced claims such as a fixed "under ten minutes" window. The pilot will use reviewed language only.

Long-running follow-up and hotspot-intervention research challenge the assumption that someone will simply go elsewhere after interruption. This supports the theory of change for time-buying, human-led intervention.

Social Legacy holds an internal-only Greater Manchester case file. It is not published here. No date, site, individual, or identifying detail appears on this page.
Source status: internal case context only; not for public citation without documented consent chain.
The full citation pack and evidence pack are available through the press kit route for funders, commissioners, and safeguarding reviewers.
The funding route is deliberately mixed. LEG8CY SOS needs commissioning partners, evaluation partners, and responsible sponsors — not one-off attention.
Network Rail, Highways England / National Highways, TfL, local authority public health, NHS regional suicide-prevention grants, and OHID-aligned routes.
Lloyd's Register Foundation, Wellcome, NIHR, MoJ Crisis Care, and innovation funders where evaluation and safeguarding are central.
Insurance partners, motorway services operators, transport-adjacent employers, and local employers near eligible public-place corridors.
Samaritans, James' Place, Maytree, and bereavement-led organisations as referral, learning, and partnership routes. Not competitors. Not substitutes for clinical care.
LEG8CY SOS is pre-pilot. That means the honest status is more important than polish. The system does not go live until safeguarding, data, insurance, operator training, and site-owner permissions are ready.
