Bar Talk Summer 2010 (716kb)
Safety Thirst Accredited Licensed Premises
(28kb)
Welcome
to Safety Thirst 
These awards are for licensed premises in the City of London.
The aim is to encourage and support pubs, clubs, bars and
restaurants to achieve the highest possible standards of safety and
security for customers and to minimise any impact on neighbours.
The Safety Thirst Awards, launched in February 2005, are open to
all pubs, clubs, bars and restaurants operating in the City of
London and promote those premises who make safety a
priority. The City of London Police, City of London and London Fire
Brigade will work in partnership with the licensing trade to
support efforts to meet the Safety Thirst Awards’ standards.
We want to reduce incidents of crime and disorder associated
with the excessive consumption of alcohol in City venues, whilst
promoting the City of London as a safe and inviting environment in
which to live, work, visit and socialise. The Safety Thirst Awards
will assess and, where necessary, provide guidance on the
following:
- Staff numbers, training schemes and formal qualifications
- Design and management of premises for crime and drug
prevention
- Drink and drug policies
- Good neighbourhood issues
- Closing time and transport
- Security and door policies
- Special events/promoted events
- Fire Safety
There are now 134 accredited licensed premises (bars, clubs and
restaurants) who received their awards at a ceremony in the
Guildhall on 16 February 2010 - 3 of these were Highly
Commended and 18 Commended for the work undertaken to reduce
Crime and Disorder. A list of newly accredited premises and the
latest edition of bartalk can be viewed using the above link. The
2010 scheme will be launching later this year and a link to the
new application form will be added when the form has
been prepared.
