A Women’s Safety Champion in your workplace is someone who makes a difference because they are:
_ _ _ _ _ _
The Champion will become the main point of contact for work around the safety of women, ensuring that all priorities are met. They will oversee the promotion of a culture of belief at your organisation and share best practice with other organisations.
It is important that you support the Champion to do this role effectively. For example, by ensuring that the person’s manager understands extra responsibilities it brings and the time requirements involved.

The Champion could be anyone within your organisation, i.e. Licensee, HR Manager or a supervisor. Ultimately the decision is yours, on who you think best fits the role and is capable of driving systematic change across your organisation.
The role is more about passion and being an active ally, rather than previous experience or qualifications.
Launched in 2022, Bristol’s Women’s Safety Charter is our call to action for all organisations, large or small, to join us in tackling gender inequality and make Bristol a fair and inclusive city, where everyone is welcome.
We’re asking all of Bristol’s night-time businesses to biome a champion for women’s safety. By signing up to the charter and embedding these commitments in your business, you’re playing a huge part in improving the experience of women in our city at night.
Thank you.
