Keeping women safe
February 1st 2007

Chubb has worked with Westminster Borough Police, part of the Metropolitan Police, to develop a nationwide training programme to help businesses protect their female employees both in and outside the work environment.

The initiative – called Living with Confidence – provides women with practical advice to prevent them becoming victims of crime, and offers help on understanding how simple factors, such as being aware of one's surroundings, together with commonsense, can contribute to staying safe.

Chief Inspector Bernie Gravell of the Metropolitan Police, who helped develop the advice and took part in the video, comments "This training package is a great initiative by Chubb offering safety advice to female members of staff.

"We work closely with businesses to offer crime prevention and safety advice to employees and this training package is an extra step in reaching as many women as possible across the country. The training is not just about behaviour; it is about what to do if one is attacked, and how to protect oneself."
