Safety

BlueZONES are safe to be in and safe to work in. Staff are trained to respond to emergencies. First aid, evacuation, and hazard prevention are prioritised so you can feel confident from the moment you arrive.

Security

BlueZONES are spaces where crime and antisocial behaviour are actively prevented and responded to. You'll see visible safety measures, but also compassionate support for anyone affected by trauma or vulnerability.
