Enabling Safer Communities

As part of our commitment to enabling safer communities, Mitie and WalkSafe have entered into a partnership designed to enhance personal safety. Combining WalkSafe’s award-winning technology with Mitie’s experience as the largest security provider in the UK, the partnership will ensure greater safety for employees wherever their working day takes them.

Safety is an essential component of a thriving community. Yet statistics suggest that there is still much to be done to protect people around the UK, both within the workplace and in their local communities. With the introduction of the Worker Protection Act, organisations can no longer wait to take action to protect colleagues.

We believe it is our moral and corporate responsibility to act. To bring together the public and private sector to enable safer communities in which everyone can thrive.

Society is changing. Crime and protests are on the rise, and there is a growing need to reduce violence against women and girls and the nations shopworkers. According to The British Retail Consortium, violence and abuse against shopworkers rose by 50% in the year to September 2023, and based on Home Office statistics, between 2022 and 2023, 44% of religious hate crimes targeted Muslims. These startling statistics highlight the need for action, and with the imminent introduction of Martyn’s Law and a new Labour Government, we are at a crucial point in the journey of creating safer communities across the UK. ​

There are already positive steps being taken, with new legislation going through Parliament, and Labours mission to ‘Take Back our Streets’ at the top of the agenda. Society is also starting to organise and galvanise against gender-based violence with initiatives like the White Ribbon Campaign.
