Our Mission

TO END SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN BARS, PUBS AND CLUBS.

SHOUT-UP! WORKS WITH BARS, PUBS AND CLUBS TO TRAIN STAFF TO UNDERSTAND SEXUAL HARASSMENT, TO NOTICE IT WHEN IT HAPPENS AND TO INTERVENE SAFELY.

Shout-Up! works directly with bars, pubs and clubs to shift attitudes about sexual harassment and to equip staff working in those organisations with the skills to create safer working and leisure environments. 

Shout-Up! offers training for all members of staff, working at every level in licensed venues to give them the knowledge and confidence to:

  • understand the impact of sexual harassment

  • identify acts of sexual harassment or behaviours that may lead to it

  • intervene safely when needed and,

  • what to do when it happens or a complaint is made.

WHY WE DO IT!

  • Everyone should feel safe on a night out

  • No-one should feel pressured or harassed into interaction, conversation, drinks or socialising

  • Active and enthusiastic consent makes a better night for everyone

  • Being harassed should not be the norm for a night out

  • People who work in bars, pubs and clubs have the right to work without being sexually harassed

  • Venues have a duty of care to staff and patrons

  • People spend less time and less money in places that are known for predatory environments or places that are known to ignore, or even encourage, harassing behaviours.
