Telford Pubs Face New Safety Rules

•

Summary

Venues must adopt a zero-tolerance approach to harassment.
New policies address drink spiking prevention and reporting.
Staff training on updated safety measures is mandatory.

New safety regulations are set to be enforced by Telford and Wrekin Council for licensed venues, including pubs, bars, and clubs. These venues will be mandated to implement a strict "zero tolerance" policy towards harassment and discrimination, with perpetrators subject to removal or bans.

The revised policy also places an emphasis on proactive measures to prevent and report incidents of drink spiking. Licensed establishments will need to ensure clear procedures are in place for handling customer complaints.

These rules, which also extend to venues like theatres, cinemas, and community centres, are a result of a policy review and were scheduled to take effect on Monday. Staff training on these new safety protocols will be a requirement for all affected venues. The council indicated that these policies will inform licensing decisions. While the council has the power to limit the number of licensed premises in an area, there are currently no plans to use this authority.
