The SIA is running a series of events across the UK to promote violence reduction measures within the night-time economy. The first one is on the 25th of April in Ipswich.
The SIA want to bring people together to discuss local initiatives, share experiences and good practice to prevent harm of security operatives and the public. The aim of these events is to:
- Share good practice of successful multi-agency violence reduction initiatives/approaches
- Develop a shared understanding that violence reduction includes reducing violence against licensed operatives and so improve the reporting of incidents
- Raise standards of safe restraint by introducing new guidance material for security operatives
- Share best practice for measuring the success of violence reduction initiatives
At each event those attending will hear from representatives of the Police, local authorities and town centre initiatives.
The briefings are FREE to attend and will take place at the following locations:
Ipswich – 25 April 2017
