Anyone who feels unsafe or at risk of harm will be able to turn to specially trained members of staff for support
Bus stations in West Yorkshire have launched "Safe Zones" to help protect passengers and people passing by. If anyone feels unsafe or thinks they might be in danger, they can ask for help from specially trained staff members.
Their plan includes working with West Yorkshire Police and local leaders to reduce crime in neighbourhoods, stop people from reoffending, make people feel more confident in the police, and make women and girls feel safer. "We are hugely committed to ensuring our residents and visitors are able to enjoy a safe environment and also have support available if they need it."
West Yorkshire's Safe Zones were first launched by Kirklees District Crime Prevention Officers, Stephen Forrest and Sharon Charlesworth in 2022. Since then, over 240 zones have been created in Kirklees, and now the scheme is being extended to bus stations across West Yorkshire.
