“Nobody is in nightlife for the paperwork!”

Hopsy will help you turn the good stuff on paper into habits your team can follow on shift.

That means less hassle, more headspace, and an easier way to stay up to scratch with national campaigns like Ask for Angela and the Women’s Night Safety Charter. It’s practical, straightforward, and it makes everyone’s job easier from managers to floor staff.

“Safeguarding with a social twist”

UniteVerse puts safeguarding front and centre, keeping venues, staff, and guests connected using real-time, community-led insights. See what’s working, what isn’t, and and how to make your business more open, inclusive, and accountable.

Act in the moment, and not just when the next assessment rolls around. Because good safeguarding doesn’t wait.

“Complete hospitality training”

Allara Global enables you to onboard new team members, remind employees of their legal obligations and improve operational performance.

They’re on a mission to improve skills and drive performance within the hospitality industry through engaging online learning.

 

Safer Business Network

“Safer Nights, Stronger Communities“

The Safer Business Network supports crime reduction and safety across UK towns by working with businesses and local authorities. It provides specialist training in areas like conflict management and vulnerability awareness—particularly for late-night hospitality venues—helping staff create safer environments for both customers and employees.

“Everyone Welcome Here “

Ask For Clive is a UK-based charity working to promote inclusion and tackle discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community in public spaces. It partners with venues, events, and organisations to raise awareness, provide training, and distribute inclusive signage – encouraging safe, welcoming environments for everyone. The charity also runs campaigns and education initiatives to challenge hate and support vulnerable groups.

“Raising the Bar for Safer Socialising“

Best Bar None is a Home Office – supported accreditation scheme that promotes safety, responsibility, and high standards in licensed venues. By assessing staff training, venue management, and customer care, it helps reduce alcohol-related harm and builds stronger links between hospitality, local authorities, and police.

Join the National Night-Time Safety Movement
We’re calling on venues, training providers, and safeguarding professionals to join the Night Safe Spaces Accreditation (NSSA) Coalition — a growing national alliance committed to creating safer, more inclusive nightlife experiences across the UK.

As we launch the NSSA pilot programme, now is the time to get involved. Together, we’re setting consistent standards, spotlighting what works, and strengthening existing efforts – not replacing them.

Why Partner with Us?
Whether you’re managing a venue, delivering training, or supporting public safety, becoming a Safeguarding Partner means being at the forefront of change in the night-time economy.

As a Safeguarding Partner, you will:

  • Shape and influence national safeguarding standards
  • Receive recognition for your existing training, policies, and good practice
  • Collaborate with peers, venues, and local authorities
  • Promote inclusive, practical safeguarding approaches
  • Drive progress through regular working groups and shared learning

Monthly Safeguarding Sub-Groups
Coalition members meet monthly in specialist sub-groups focused on our Five Pillars of Excellence:

  • Policy in Action
  • Staff Competency
  • Customer Experience
  • Partnership & Community
  • Continuous Improvement

These sessions are designed to spark collaboration, share insights, and develop practical solutions to sector-wide challenges.

Recognition of Existing Work
We take a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) approach – meaning we value and build on the great work you’re already doing. Our goal is to align your current training, policies, and practices with the NSSA framework to identify strengths and address only the gaps.

Areas of recognition include (but are not limited to):

  • Incident management and emergency response
  • Spiking prevention and response
  • Knife crime and safe search procedures
  • Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG)
  • Harm reduction and supporting vulnerable customers (including medicinal cannabis use)
  • Inclusive and accessible venue design
  • Customer safety and welfare initiatives
  • Staff wellbeing and mental health support
  • Emergency first aid, crisis response, and de-escalation
