Businesses and their staff are often victims of crime. Shoplifting offences in England and Wales have risen to a 20-year high, according to official figures. And nearly half of retail staff surveyed say they are attacked or abused once a week. It is an issue that not only damages businesses but impacts individuals’ safety and wellbeing.
We developed Neighbourhood Safety Training as part of our commitment to the Community Safety Charter and building communities where crime cannot thrive.
The training is free and designed specifically to support local businesses. Online modules include:
- Harassment
- ASB
- Personal safety
Modules on retail crime and hate crimes are coming soon.
If you are a business owner or manager In England or Wales 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 of businesses tackling crime in England and Wales.
Neighbourhood Safety Training is supported by ERA Home Security.
