Safety of Women at Night Charter

Show all parts of this guide

3. Supporting the Charter

We ask all organisations that operate at night to support the Charter by signing up and committing to the following seven pledges. 

  1. Change the conversation– Keeping women safe is everyone’s responsibility. Encourage men in your organisation to think about what they can do to keep women safe
  2. Champion - Appoint an organisational champion who will drive change
  3. Communicate -  Run positive, public/staff facing communication campaigns, both online and in your space(s)
  4. Support your Staff – Create clear routes for reporting unacceptable behaviour while at work and lead cultural change
  5. Support the Public – Create clear routes for reporting unacceptable behaviour while using your service or space at night
  6. Training: responding & recording– Train staff on how to respond when an issue occurs, including what to say and do and any relevant policies. Train staff on information sharing and appropriate recording of details
  7. Designing for Safety - Audit your spaces and adapt them to promote a safer environment and to reduce the risk of crime

A downloadable toolkit has been created to help you support the Charter.
