Nottingham Express Transit have become the first transport operator in the city to become a supporter of the Consent Coalition. This is just one of a number of initiatives and measures NET now have in place to help make Nottingham safer.
As part of the support, NET have two trams with special wraps applied to publicise the A-Z of Consent, a key aspect of the Consent Coalition’s campaign to help raise the awareness of consent and challenge misinformation surrounding the topic.
Nottingham Express Transit also have well-lit stops and platforms, HD CCTV cameras on all trams, emergency help buttons at all stops and on all trams, and the ability to contact a member of the team discreetly through WhatsApp. All of this is helping to make the network safer.
Alison Sweeney, Head of Marketing at Tramlink Nottingham, said: “The safety of all our tram users is always our prime concern. We already have a number of safety measures in place across the network which all aim to help the people of Nottingham get around safely. However, becoming a supporter of the Consent Coalition is another important way in which we’re helping to make a stand against all sexual violence. We stand together with the rest of the Consent Coalition to say that Nottingham will never tolerate any form of sexual violence, and we are committed to ensuring that everyone feels comfortable travelling in the city while using our tram network.”
