Free vulnerability training for licensed premises

We are offering free vulnerability training for people who work in licensed premises in Camden.

By attending this training, you can play a role in helping to prevent and reduce sexual violence and vulnerability within the night-time economy and beyond. To help people enjoy safer nights out in public spaces.

Welfare and Vulnerability (WAVE) and ‘Ask for Angela’ training

We have partnered with the Safer Business Network to offer W.A.V.E (Welfare and Vulnerability Engagement) training sessions. By completing the training, you will get an accredited Certificate of Participation.

The sessions will be free and are either:

The sessions aim to increase the skills, knowledge and confidence of those working in licensed premises. They focus on identifying vulnerability and making appropriate interventions.

During training, you will:

learn the history of WAVE and Ask for Angela
understand the definition of vulnerability
explore what makes people vulnerable
identify factors that assist you to recognise vulnerability
explore where interventions can be made to reduce vulnerability
identify appropriate interventions to assist in reducing harm
recognise and promote the Ask for Angela Campaign
learn about Safe Havens
learn about drink spiking

You can use this knowledge in all settings. It is transferable between venues and colleagues.

‘Ask for Angela’ Scheme

Ask for Angela is a consumer-facing campaign which allows people who feel like they are in an unsafe situation to ask for help using the “Angela” code word. This informs a staff member of their need and allows them to access discreet help.

Who should attend

This course is designed for anyone working in a customer facing role, including security teams.

How to attend

There will be an in-person session on Monday 2 September between 1 and 4pm
