As part of the strategy to tackle Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG), the Home Office are trialling a new online reporting tool called StreetSafe on Police.uk to enable people, particularly women and girls, to pin-point locations where they feel or have felt unsafe and to identify the features on why that location made them feel unsafe.
There is a quick online survey that can be used by women and girls so they can highlight areas of concerns , the link is below:
www.police.uk/streetsafe
The aspiration for the pilot is to be able to provide forces and local policing bodies with an additional data set to enrich existing sources that can be used to tackle concerns over public space safety and increase rust and confidence in the police service.
The data is intended, alongside the other information we have access to, to enhance and enrich the understanding of our communities’ concerns and our neighbourhoods.
We are recruiting again. If you would like more information or to apply email swa@swanseawomensaid.org.uk or head to our website www.swanseawomensaid.com/vacancies/
