Training DELIVEROO riders to keep communities safe!

Deliveroo today announces a new partnership with Neighbourhood Watch to offer riders training to help keep our communities safe across the UK. The optional training, created by Neighbourhood Watch and verified by the Metropolitan Police, will cover six topics.

These are:

• Rider vehicle safety
• Spotting the signs: Street harassment and female safety
• Spotting the signs: Domestic abuse
• Handling confrontation and bystander training
• Spotting the signs: Modern slavery and Human Trafficking
• Spotting the signs: County Lines and Drug Dealing

The partnership will also:

• Provide Deliveroo riders with free safety and awareness online training via specially created video training and animations
• Raise awareness of Neighbourhood Watch with Deliveroo riders promoting the partnership on their delivery bags after they have completed the training
• Provide the opportunity for riders to become affiliate members of Neighbourhood Watch

Deliveroo riders carried out a vital role in their local communities during the pandemic and are well-placed to spot any concerns in the neighbourhoods in which they work and live.
