Businesses and their staff are often victims of crime. Shoplifting offences reported by police in England and Wales have risen to a 20-year high, according to official figures.
The Retail Trust charity found that almost half of 1,200 workers they surveyed feared for their safety, and more than a third wanted to leave their jobs because of the rise in violence and abuse. It is an issue that not only damages businesses but impacts individuals’ safety and wellbeing.
Our neighbourhood safety training is free and designed specifically to support local businesses. Modules include:
- Harassment
- ASB
- Personal safety
The training supports our commitment to the community safety charter and building communities where crime cannot thrive. If you are a business owner or manager then these resources will help you and your colleagues:
- Protect your staff, your customers and your business
- Prevent and respond to business-related crime with free training and resources for your employees
- Build stronger community ties by showing you care about safety and wellbeing.
- Network with a national community tackling crime across England and Wales.
Neighbourhood Safety Training is supported by ERA Home Security.
