Personal safety at work

Suzy was never found and eventually declared deceased after seven years in 1993. The Trust was set up six months after Suzy’s disappearance and 32 years on, it is widely regarded as field experts in lone-working and personal safety training and continues to work towards reducing the risk of violence and aggression by educating, campaigning and supporting people to take steps to avoid, mitigate or manage risks at work, as well as across all aspects of their lives. 

Our vision is a society in which people are safer and feel safer from harassment, violence and aggression. Practical customised training packages available help maximise employees’ personal safety at work and place individuals in control when it comes to keeping themselves safe, promoting a happier work environment and reducing cost to individuals and businesses.  

We work closely with private, public and third-sector organisations, including Education, Legal, Property and Housing, Transport, Construction, Security, Met Police, NHS, the Home Office.
