Street Safety

Many of us have concerns about our own safety, and the safety of our loved ones, when walking on the streets as we can feel very vulnerable and unsafe. The murder of Sarah Everard very much raised awareness of how people can be at risk when out and about and particularly women walking alone. When we hear news about violence on the streets and people being attacked, it does not in any way help us to feel safe but there are services which can help, and advice that we can all follow to help ourselves to feel safer on the streets.

StreetSafe is a service that allows you to report safety concerns in public places without giving your name (anonymously). This includes issues like poorly lit streets, abandoned buildings, or vandalism, as well as instances where you feel unsafe due to someone following or verbally abusing you.

Please note: StreetSafe is not for reporting crimes or emergencies. If you witness a crime or emergency, please call the police on 101 or report a crime online. If you're unsure whether something is a crime or not, read their advice. Examples of situations that should be reported to StreetSafe include a poorly lit alleyway that makes you feel unsafe or a park with broken equipment that poses a safety hazard.
