Railway Capable Guardianship Training

As part of wider plans to improve women and girls' safety across Northamptonshire, the OPFCC intend to fund a training package aimed specifically at railway and train station and train operator staff. The training package will need to incorporate: • recognising the signs of VAWG offences, • Recognising wider vulnerability of those using public transport, or transport hubs, • safeguarding those individuals, • and an awareness of how to report such incidents. This will also need to include the positive role that railway and train station staff can play in spotting and reporting signs of abuse, neglect and concern of vulnerable passengers as well as setting out behavioural standards of the staff themselves. The training package needs to be bespoke to Northamptonshire and not a product already developed as we wish to involve East Midlands Railway, West Midlands Railway and Northamptonshire Police in the creation and content of the package.
