Having been funded by Cleveland’s Unit for the Reduction of Violence (CURV), voluntary ‘mystery shoppers’ entered various premises across the Teesside region and tested the implementation of the scheme by asking venue staff for ‘Angela’.
The testing resulted in a 75% success rate across the region, having visited venues in Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Stockton and Redcar and Cleveland. Out of 28 premises visited, 21 passed the required standards.
Those who didn’t offer the support required during the visits were provided with feedback and advice on what they could improve.
Alongside funding the ‘mystery shoppers’, CURV has also funded Ask for Angela campaigns and Vulnerability Training which we had the pleasure of delivering in March of this year as wekk as providing funding for street volunteer groups, anti-spiking resources and drink testing strips in an effort to create safer socialising environments and offer support to potentially vulnerable people.
