On the positive results...
We all feel as though we’ve come away with so much that we can use in our professional and personal lives. And from our experience with the GNOC, we know that accessibility to further support, should we need it, is second to none.
General Manager, 24 Kitchen Street, Liverpool
On the topics we cover...
It was so refreshing to speak openly about these sensitive topics as a team, I’d highly recommend people attend this training.
Women’s Officer, Royal Central School of Speech and Drama
Even though the training is based around sexual harassment, we’ve found that these skills and confidence gained are transferrable to many other issues around inappropriate interactions.

We’re committing to effectively measuring the change we make, whether that’s staff attitudes before and after a training session or customer perception of safety once our posters are in place.
Our impact on staff
100% of participants say the training they recieved was relevant to their role. 93% of bar staff, security and supervisors say they felt very knowledgeable and skilled after being Good Night Out-trained, and on average 30% more confident in dealing with sexual harassment and assault.
