Hear what businesses have to say about their pledge to join Safe Space Notts – *“In line with our commitment to make Broadway a safe and welcoming space for all, our front of house managers and supervisors recently attended training around Safe Space Notts. We found the sessions valuable for improving our understanding of the key issues for women’s safety in the hospitality industry, and also for identifying practical steps which we can now implement, to ensure our customers have a safe and enjoyable time with us."* **Broadway Cinema** *“I am genuinely proud as a Nottingham native to have this initiative in our city and to work in a venue that has committed to the pledge. As a citizen, I feel secure in the knowledge that the safety of women and girls in Nottingham is taken seriously. As a business, I feel strongly about being able to assist, provide a safe space for those in need, and to support Nottingham throughout this programme. It is my hope that this becomes standard within the UK.”* **Leonardo Hotels** *“The training, schemes and accreditations have been very helpful in terms of our staff being better equipped to help those in need. We also feel that it has helped to bring us into the wider Nottingham community which is also very rewarding. The team at It’s in Nottingham are great and we really appreciate what they do!”* **The Barley Twist** --- Share Article: [ ](https://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.itsinnottingham.com%2Fnews%2Fsafe-space-notts-pledge"e=Take%20the%20Safe%20Space%20Notts%20pledge) [ ](https://twitter.com/share?text=Take%20the%20Safe%20Space%20Notts%20pledge&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.itsinnottingham.com%2Fnews%2Fsafe-space-notts-pledge) [ ](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.itsinnottingham.com%2Fnews%2Fsafe-space-notts-pledge"e=Take%20the%20Safe%20Space%20Notts%20pledge) ### Related Articles [ ![340f8e7cee75f5646722e935b2d4a25fb8739295 940x788 w2400q80fitclipautoformat](/uploads/generic/_320x245_crop_center-center_none/685/340f8e7cee75f5646722e935b2d4a25fb8739295-940x788-w2400q80fitclipautoformat.jpg) Website launches to improve city centre safety ](https://www.itsinnottingham.com/news/safe-space-notts) [ ![6d0601b22239510ae4e9f44e9a8708340ac5add9 940x788 w2400q80fitclipautoformat](/uploads/generic/_320x245_crop_center-center_none/881/6d0601b22239510ae4e9f44e9a8708340ac5add9-940x788-w2400q80fitclipautoformat.jpg) Nottingham – a vibrant, safe place to play ](https://www.itsinnottingham.com/news/nottingham--a-vibrant-safe-place-to-play) [ ![D7221ba47c18d18b9c9f61abfd1551d3b2445f80 940x788 w2400q80fitclipautoformat](/uploads/generic/_320x245_crop_center-center_none/677/d7221ba47c18d18b9c9f61abfd1551d3b2445f80-940x788-w2400q80fitclipautoformat.jpg) Help Bring Nottingham’s Safe Bus to Life ](https://www.itsinnottingham.com/news/nottingham-safe-bus) Be In The Know Be In The Know Be In The Know Be In The Know Be In The Know Be In The Know ![Nottingham Contemporary Art Gallery](/uploads/generic/_360x540_crop_center-center_none/footer-flick2-01.jpg) ![Nottingham Market Square](/uploads/generic/_360x540_crop_center-center_none/footer-flick2-03.jpg) ![Red Leaves](/uploads/generic/_360x540_crop_center-center_none/footer-flick2-02.jpg) Follow us *on* SOCIALS Amazing food and drinks, all the shops you'll ever need, and inspirational events and activities.
