Founded in 2020, WalkSafe+ is dedicated to creating a safer world. As we look ahead, our commitment extends beyond our app to entire communities.
One such initiative is the WalkSafe+ Personal Safety Awareness course, delivered by former Scotland Yard detectives. This interactive course, suitable for businesses of all sizes, equips employees with the skills to enhance their personal safety. With a focus on commuting risks during antisocial hours, our seminars offer practical advice and intervention techniques, developed with input from experts in the field.
The answer is, you don’t need to attend. However, having the correct knowledge of how to apply preventative measures when socialising in antisocial hours to either yourself or a friend or work colleague is a skill set that could potentially save someone from being sexually assaulted in the worst-case scenario.
But here are a few more reasons why it is beneficial for you to attend one of Walksafe+’s bespoke and totally customisable Personal Safety Awareness talks:
Our Walksafe+ course providers have extensive knowledge and experience in understanding criminal behaviour, identifying potential threats, and implementing effective crime prevention strategies. They can provide valuable insights into how to reduce the risk of crime and enhance personal safety.
Our training for the Walksafe+ Personal Safety Awareness courses has been developed by detectives who are skilled at assessing risks and vulnerabilities in different environments. They can help your employees identify potential safety hazards specific to their work or daily routines and provide practical solutions to mitigate these risks.
Our team at Walksafe+ combined with advice from former detectives who construct our courses can tailor the personal safety awareness course to suit the unique needs and challenges of your business or industry. Whether it’s addressing safety concerns for employees in the field, dealing with customer-facing roles, or navigating corporate travel, they can create a customised curriculum.
The Walksafe+ team creating these courses are trained in effective communication and interview techniques, making them skilled trainers who can engage participants in meaningful discussions, role-playing exercises, and simulations to enhance learning.
Law enforcement professionals who advise Walksafe+ when creating these courses often enjoy building trust in the community. Having former detectives lead our personal safety awareness course can lend credibility to the training and encourage greater participation.
Former detectives lead our regular training sessions to keep participants informed about evolving safety threats and best practices. Our seminars focus on real-world settings and everyday scenarios, helping identify potential dangers and promoting proactive risk assessment. We prioritise prevention and equip participants with tools to address problems before they escalate. Additionally, our course introduces the Walksafe+ App features, enhancing personal safety for your team in a cost-effective manner, and demonstrating your duty of care to employees.
But don’t just take our word for it, We recently presented a fully comprehensive package to Footsie 100 company Lexis Nexis with some fantastic feedback!

“Totally didn’t think I needed to know anything about personal safety, but I’m glad i came as I was unaware of potential dangers out there, for example, i didn’t know what ‘needle spiking’ was but now I know what it is and how to potential spot it happening when I’m out and about”
