Safety in our Night Time Economy

We are committed to making the Night Time Economy a safe place for all in Bath.

In particular we have a focus on ensuring Women and Girls are free from harassment, violence and other offences associated with the NTE.

Further to this, with the academic year fast approaching, we are working with partners to prepare for the arrival of students back into the city.

Over the Summer we have already been working hard to achieve this:

• We have worked with the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner to launch extensive, free training for those that work in our Night Time Economy. This training focuses on identifying vulnerabilities and becoming an active bystander. This training is still available and you can learn more here: Free Bystander Intervention Training for night time economy workers | OPCC for Avon and Somerset (avonandsomerset-pcc.gov.uk)
• The Bath Neighbourhood Teams have completed ‘Project Vigilant’ training, enabling us to undertake deployments specifically designed to target perpetrators of sexual harassment and violence in the NTE. Learn more about Project Vigilant here: Project Vigilant – preventing sexual violence | College of Policing

We have a variety of engagements coming up and we will provide updates here and on our Social Media pages.
