DublinTown along with the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media and other city centre stakeholders have been organising more events that take place in the Evening and Night Time Economy (ENTE).
It would be understood that those operating in the ENTE have differing concerns and requirements than those whose businesses are 9am to 5pm. As such, DublinTown in partnership with the Night Time Economy Unit of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media have organised free for DublinTown members specific training for businesses, venues and their employees that focuses on evening and night time safety and its related best practices. This training is part of our long commitment through Purple Flag to a safe and vibrant evening and night time economy in the city centre. This course will benefit all those engaging and working at night by ensuring customer safety. It will demonstrate that venues or businesses have a clear commitment to ensuring customer safety which in turn gives more confidence to people socialising at night by providing a safe environment to do so.
Both of the below training sessions will take place on Wednesday February 28th in the DublinTown offices on Middle Abbey Street and are being led by Jo Cox-Brown of Night Time Economy Solutions.
Jo has over fourteen years of experience in the nighttime economy and vulnerability management, having pioneered a number of ENTE safety projects. Jo is the founder of Night Time Economy Solutions and an Appointed Expert on the High Streets Task Force. She has previously worked with the UK Home Office and National Pubwatch and recently supported recruitment for Night time Advisors for the Irish government.
This training is FREE. Spaces are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
Completion of either course includes certification and registration as a Safe Venue on the SafeUp and Waze apps.
