Safe Streets

In Partnership with Stop Hate UK, the Waltham Forest council has developed the Waltham Forest Safe Streets App. The app makes it easier for residents to report street harassment incidents in the borough.

The app gives users the choice to:

  • Report anonymously for information only
  • Access specialist support
  • Report the incident for formal investigation by police or council

The app also provides a route through to our 24/7 Stop Hate UK helpline. Users can reach out to Stop Hate UK to get guidance on support and reporting. Stop Hate UK’s helpline service provides confidential and independent support, and people can report anonymously.

By using the app users will help pinpoint areas where women and girls are being harassed by men so that Waltham Forest council can work with partners such as the police, to make our streets safe.

The Safe Streets app is another step to help us tackle violence against women and girls and send a clear message that street harassment will not be tolerated in Waltham Forest.

Our aim is to bring this app to more areas soon.

To download the app, go to Apple App Store and simply search ‘Waltham Forest Safe Streets’.

The new app will be available on Android soon.
