women's safety
Camden Council is currently discussing initiatives to enhance women's safety in the evening and night-time economy, focusing on venue training.
Camden Council's Licensing Committee discussed initiatives to enhance women's safety in the evening and night-time economy in July 2026. This builds on the council's aim, discussed in July 2025, to train 60% of its licensed venues in vulnerability awareness by the end of 2028. This training includes learning about Safe Havens, preventing drink spiking, and the Ask for Angela scheme.
The council's ambition is to deliver Welfare and Vulnerability Engagement (WAVE) training to approximately 1,020 venues. A report to the Licensing Committee in July 2025 stated that 140 venues had been trained by December 2024, with a target to train an additional 220 venues in 2025. No upcoming council meetings are currently scheduled to discuss women's safety.
