Keeping Guildford safe

Over the past few years the Guildford Business Crime Reduction Partnership has been working in close partnership with many organisations to create innovative campaigns to help prevent vulnerability, exploitation, sexual assaults and even domestic violence within our evening and late-night economy. These campaigns have primarily been focused on providing members of staff with adequate training opportunities to help them spot vulnerable individuals.

Ask for Angela

The 'Ask for Angela' campaign seeks to highlight to members of the public and customers that staff, from bar staff to security personnel, in the city take their safety seriously. The campaign, which involves posters going up in venue toilets, has been rolled out up and down the country after being developed in Linconshire by Hayley Child. They provide reassurance that support and help is available. Venues who participate in the scheme are given guidance notes on how to assist individuals
