The Safety of Women at Night Charter and associated toolkit provide a framework to allow organisations to show their commitment to keeping all women and girls safe, but this is a small step and we will need to build on this over the coming months.

In signing the charter, you are making a voluntary commitment on behalf of your organisation to deliver its pledge and commitments.

There will be a requirement to re-commit to the charter annually.

• Regular updates regarding awareness raising courses and training.
• Signposting to specialist providers and guidance, including updates to the toolkit. 
• Sharing understanding and learning about ‘what works’ nationally.

The results of the SWaN survey, which was completed in early 2022 by those who live in and visit Exeter, have described why people feel unsafe and what they would like to see done to make the city safer.

These results will be used in conjunction with information recorded by the public on the StreetSafe app to inform an action plan which will be overseen by the Community Safety Partnership.
