According to Drinkaware, more than three quarters (79%) of females 18-24s think harassment is likely to happen to them/their female friends on a night out.
Sexual harassment, violence against women and spiking have become prevalent in society and within the night-time economy and can have a devasting effect on people’s lives, wellbeing, and safety, alongside the reputational damage to the industry.
A venue that has clear senior management commitment to the elimination of sexual harassment, violence against women and spiking, will be more likely to create the necessary culture required to drive a programme of activity, help employers meet legal requirements and set a shared vision for the organisation.
High level commitment to dealing with sexual harassment is critical to the success of the venues plans for managing the issue.
A venue that has a structured plan based on a framework for the management of sexual harassment, women’s safety and spiking will enable the organisation to understand a baseline of activity that is being undertaken and develop proportionate action plans, whilst providing re-assurance to stakeholders and oversight for senior management.
Having a defined strategy and action plans for the management of sexual harassment is essential for continuous improvement.
Continuous improvement includes horizon scanning, peer and partnership engagement and collaboration, identifying feedback from staff, customers and partners and a continuous review of the performance of the sexual harassment programme.
Establishing a continuous improvement mindset to support the short-, medium- and long-term plans of the venue which prioritises people’s safety.
