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.
- 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
- Champion - Appoint an organisational champion who will drive change
- Communicate - Run positive, public/staff facing communication campaigns, both online and in your space(s)
- Support your Staff – Create clear routes for reporting unacceptable behaviour while at work and lead cultural change
- Support the Public – Create clear routes for reporting unacceptable behaviour while using your service or space at night
- 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
- 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.
