Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG)

The Wells Neighbourhood Police Team will be working closely with the city’s night-time economy to tackle Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG). Local establishments will be encouraged to actively participate in this initiative, fostering a safer environment for all.

The neighbourhood team have also been visiting the local hairdresser and nail bars issuing advice and information about VAWG. They have also promoted the Walk and Talk initiative that can be applied for our web pages by following this link – https://www.avonandsomerset.police.uk/apply/walk-and-talk/

You can also report feeling unsafe in public spaces via the StreetSafe app, completely anonymously. Whether it’s due to environmental reasons, such as poor street-lighting or anti-social behaviour or harassment, reports to the app are shared with your local police force and local authorities for action.
