Night-Time Economy

Helping licensed venues and hospitality teams recognise vulnerability, respond to safeguarding concerns and create safer environments for customers and staff.

People socialising in a night-time venue
The night-time economy plays a vital role in the UK’s social and cultural life, bringing together pubs, clubs, bars, restaurants, venues and late-night businesses. however, these environments also present increased safeguarding risks, including vulnerability, exploitation, drink spiking, harassment and violence.

Staff working in these settings are often the first point of contact when someone becomes vulnerable, making their role critical in preventing harm and ensuring people remain safe.

STC Safeguarding delivers CPD-accredited Night Time Economy training designed specifically for frontline staff, security teams, supervisors and venue management. Our training helps teams identify risk early, respond appropriately and create safer, more responsible environments for customers and staff alike.

Delivered online or face-to-face, our training is practical, scenario-based and focused on real-world challenges faced in late-night venues.
