At Dollhouse Manchester, safety comes first. Escorting in a busy city like Manchester can be exciting and rewarding, but it also comes with responsibilities. We’ve created this guide to help you protect yourself at all times, whether you work independently or through an agency. These safety tips will help you make smart choices, vet clients carefully, and enjoy your work with confidence and peace of mind.
Vet All Potential Clients
Vetting is the single most important step in keeping yourself safe. Before you meet anyone, make sure you know who they are and where you’ll be going. Start by asking new clients for photo ID. A driving licence or passport is ideal. Confirm their full name and phone number and ensure it matches the booking details.
If the booking is an outcall, always confirm the address. Ask for a postcode and, if possible, check the location on Google Maps. When meeting at a hotel, request to see a booking confirmation or ask for the room number before you arrive.
It’s also smart to use online tools like Client Eye, where other escorts share feedback and warnings about clients who may have caused issues before. A quick search can prevent you from walking into a dangerous situation.
At Dollhouse Manchester, we take care of all vetting for you. Every client is verified and checked before any booking is confirmed. However, if you’re working independently, make sure you always do your due diligence. It takes a few minutes but could save you from serious trouble.
Hotels are a Great Option for Incall Bookings
Many escorts in Manchester offer incall bookings from their own homes. While this might seem convenient, it can also be risky. You’re inviting strangers into your private space, which can expose you to safety issues and unwanted attention.
A safer alternative is to use escort-friendly hotels for your incalls. Hotels provide extra layers of security and allow you to maintain your privacy. You’re meeting on neutral ground, and the client doesn’t have access to your home address. It also helps keep your bookings discreet, which is an important factor in maintaining professionalism.
What to Look for When Booking an Escort-Friendly Hotel
If you choose to use a hotel for your incalls, make sure it meets basic safety standards. Always check for:
-
CCTV coverage in hallways and entrances.
- Security staff present on the doors or at reception.
- 24/7 room service, which ensures there’s always staff around.
- Key card elevators, so only guests can access private floors.
If the hotel doesn’t have secure access, meet your client in the lobby or entrance area instead of letting them wander up to your room. These precautions reduce risks while keeping your professional image intact.
GPS Tracking & Communication
Your location should always be known by someone you trust. This isn’t about being watched, it’s about ensuring that if anything ever goes wrong, help can reach you quickly.
At Dollhouse Manchester, we use GPS tracking for every girl working with us. Each escort shares their live location and signs up to Life360, a simple app that allows us to confirm they’ve arrived at and left a booking safely. If an issue arises, we can immediately contact the authorities or attend the location.
For independent escorts, the same rule applies. Always share your location with a trusted friend or colleague. Let them know when you’re on your way to a booking, when you arrive, and when you’ve finished. A quick text update can make a big difference.
Stay Protected
What happens between two consenting adults is entirely up to them. As an agency, we do not control or influence what occurs during private time between you and a client. However, we strongly recommend using protection whenever intimacy takes place.
Condoms are essential for preventing sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and maintaining your health. Keep a small supply with you at all times and never feel pressured to engage in unsafe activity. Your body, your boundaries, your rules. A professional escort knows that safety and hygiene are as important as appearance and attitude.
