Bristol Nights make expert training accessible to all night-time economy workers as part of its commitment to the Women’s Safety Charter.
Bristol Nights launched their online platform in 2022, providing free-to-access training for the city’s night-time workers. The courses which address issues such sexual harassment and drink spiking are free of charge and aim to train night-time economy workers in dealing with incidents of sexual harassment.
The 8 part course features films presented by female members of the city’s night-time workforce, bringing to life issues and the city’s approach to stamping out incidents in its venues.
The initial project, led by Bristol City Council, was designed in collaboration with the night-time economy and VAWG agencies. The new campaign is delivered once again in partnership with Bristol City Centre BID.
Carly Heath, Bristol Night-Time Economy Advisor, commented:
“Improving the safety of women at night is vital, and a challenge which cannot be achieved without allies throughout the city. We know that our nightlife communities care about the safety and wellbeing of people enjoying our nightlife, and we want to reinforce this important message.”
“We invite all members of the night-time workforce and businesses to join our zero-tolerance approach to sexual harassment, but we understand that not all workers can attend in-person training, so our online course make it more accessible. Workers can access it at any time, and then spread the word to their co-workers with training manuals and practice manuals available for download.”
