Guardians of the Underground
The launch of British Transport Police’s Project Guardian is a huge step forward for passenger safety and addresses the often hidden problem of sexual harassment on public transport.
As well as a fantastic aim – to encourage increased reporting of incidents – the BTP have developed the scheme in a careful, evidence-based manner. The project takes inspiration from a similar initiative in America and has been developed in partnership with three high-profile campaign groups.
No-one should ever have to travel in fear. Let’s hope this can be rolled out across the national network as soon as possible.
