Oxford City Council and Thames Valley Police have been busy prioritising and delivering bystander against sexual harassment training to organisations operating in the night-time economy including Oxford City Angels, Oxford Street Pastors, Door Staff and Venue Staff. This network of trained Bystanders will help in preventing or intervening when an act of sexual harassment has the potential to occur.
