York businesses and organisations can now take a simple but important step to help make our streets safer for everyone.

IDAS (Independent Domestic Abuse Services), as part of the Safer Streets programme, is offering a free 50-minute video briefing designed for local businesses and public-facing services. The session provides practical advice and information to help create safer spaces for women, girls and communities.
