Safe Spaces

Due to the national focus around the safety of women and girls, there is an appetite from the retail community to create safer spaces for their employees, customers and people in the community that feel vulnerable.

The Safer Spaces scheme also known as Operation PORTUM is an overarching scheme that businesses can sign up to and support with the objective to collectively increase safe spaces in retail premises.

The NBCC, working in partnership with a number of national retailers including Tesco, has developed guidance and a step-by-step process to assist businesses in the planning, creating and implementation of a safe spaces scheme within their business.
