What is WAVE?
Safer Sounds are working with the Metropolitan Police Service, the Mayor of London, City of London Police, London Councils and venues across London to help people enjoy safer nights out in public spaces.
By training your staff in WAVE and implementing Ask for Angela you can play a role in helping to prevent and reduce sexual violence and vulnerability within the night-time economy and beyond.
The WAVE Programme consists of two strands of work:
WAVE TRAINING
A training session that aims to increase the skills, knowledge and confidence of those working in licensed premises focusing on identifying vulnerability and making appropriate interventions.
ASK FOR ANGELA SCHEME
A consumer-facing campaign which allows people who feel like they are in an unsafe situation to ask for help using the “Angela” code word, informing a staff member of their need, and allowing them to access discreet help.
