Stand Up to Harassment – Bystander Training

Standard

The Suzy Lamplugh Trust is hosting free thirty-minute webinars on bystander training. Here’s what they say:

“There has been unprecedented demand for bystander training from both the business world and the general public after the tragic case of Sarah Everard. People and organisations want to take steps to address the prevalence of unwanted and aggressive behaviours such as harassment that underly the broader cycle of violence against women and girls, which the Trust has worked on since its inception over three decades ago. This partnership will allow the Trust to fulfil its objective of standing against harassment alongside the wider public.”

Have you ordered your free SOS device yet?

Standard

All MPs are issued with an SOS device, but they are also available for all IPSA-funded staff of MPs. The cost of these devices is funded by the Security team

It is recommended that Members and their staff carry a lone worker/SOS device, which has the ability to summon assistance in the event of an incident or a problem.
