Night Time Economy Solutions, a night time economy management initiative, will provide an online vulnerability training on 24 April, between 16:00 and 18:00, for anyone working in the night time economy to learn how to support vulnerable customers.

The focus of these sessions will be on the different types of vulnerability that will be found at night – including vulnerability related to women’s safety, violence, drugs, alcohol, drink spiking, domestic violence, sexual assault, and harassment and first dates.

The training will equip attendees with the tools to identify and support customers who may become vulnerable, either in venues or on the streets.

About the training, Night Time Economy Solutions said: “This is a step further than standard safeguarding training, as it teaches attendees how to deal with specific issues that they may encounter as part of their shift, and is built around real case studies and best practice.

“The training also empowers staff to recognise hotspots within their venues, enabling their customers to enjoy a safer night out.

“The training is focused on group activities encouraging participants to think about the venues they work in and the situations they have experienced.”

Attendance is free of charge. You can go here to book your place.
