DeterTech, the official site security partner of Brentford FC, is supporting an accredited Safe Haven at the club’s Gtech Community Stadium.
Safe Havens are dedicated spaces of support that that help people with their onward journey by providing various forms of assistance, such as contacting emergency services, phone charging facilities, calling a taxi or reaching friends and family.
Accredited by the Safer Business Network, shops, cafes, pubs, libraries and other venues can also become a registered Safe Haven.
The Safe Haven, located in Brentford FC’s west stand security hub on Lionel Road South, will reportedly provide support 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
DeterTech has articulated that it will be managed by trained security staff and is open to any member of the public who feels vulnerable or needs help.
Sarah Craig, Chief Marketing Officer, DeterTech said: “Our purpose at DeterTech is always to bring greater peace of mind to people and communities, every day.
“The Safe Haven campaign is one of many powerful examples of how we put that into action.”
Jon Varney, CEO, Brentford commented: “We are a club that sits in the heart of the community and it is vital that we are able to support our fans and those living in the local area.
“In creating a Safe Haven space at our stadium, we are ensuring there is help available for anyone at any time of day.
“This builds on the wide-ranging work we are doing with fans and partners as part of our continued commitment to create inclusive and safer environments for women and girls, not just on a matchday but everyday.”
As the official site security partner of Brentford FC, this initiative is said to be another way for DeterTech to assist Brentford FC’s commitment to fan safety and community wellbeing, following other events such as crime prevention sessions and free bike marking for fans on matchdays.
Drawing upon DeterTech’s experience in risk management and deterrent technologies, DeterTech will reportedly support the Safe Haven team with resources and guidance to help Brentford FC deliver a safe and inclusive experience for all.
