CHILD SAFE ZONES

Child Safe Zones is a national scheme adopted by a number of major shopping centres throughout the UK. Birmingham is the first city to adopt the scheme across the entire city centre shopping area. The scheme is co-ordinated by the Birmingham City Centre Partnership, working with the West Midlands Police and supported by  Birmingham City Council, Retail Birmingham, Retail Crime Operation and the Community Safety Partnership. What is a Child Safe Zone? The Child Safe Zone scheme is a safety initiative which:-

  • Enhances existing security policies
  • Provides visitors with a standard, recognisable way to contact security teams and the Police
  • Provides simple tools to re-unite lost children with their parents or guardians as soon as possible.
