Course Background:

The Licensing Act 2003 (the Act) places significant emphasis on the promotion of four statutory licensing objectives, all of which must be considered when licensing functions are undertaken.

These four essential licensing objectives are:

  • Public safety
  • The prevention of public nuisance
  • The protection of children from harm
  • The prevention of crime and disorder

Our Crime Prevention Awareness Training course is meticulously designed to provide staff with an insightful understanding of the types of crimes that can occur, with a specific focus on the licensed premises and entertainment industry. Participants will come to appreciate that the inviting social settings that attract people of all ages can also be appealing to motivated or casual offenders seeking to commit crimes. As customers relax and socialize, their awareness of potential criminal threats may diminish, offering criminals opportunities to exploit.

Purpose:

Throughout this half-day training course, attendees will realize that small actions can have a significant impact on crime prevention. By heightening their vigilance and recognizing signs that potential criminals may exhibit, participants can play an active role in deterring criminal activity. This Crime Prevention Awareness Training equips attendees with an understanding of the various tactics employed by criminals. It also emphasizes positive early intervention strategies and encourages positive engagement with customers, all of which contribute to reducing the consequences and effects of crime within licensed premises.

Training Delivery:

Our Crime Prevention Awareness Training is delivered in a relaxed, informal, and flexible manner, with a strong emphasis on encouraging questions and facilitating discussions. The learning process is highly interactive, featuring a variety of exercises designed to educate and motivate participants.

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Engage in open discussions regarding the types of crime prevalent in the Licensed Premises Industry.
  • Analyse crime figures and statistics specific to the Licensed Premises Industry.
  • Comprehend the consequences of crime and its potential for reputational damage.
