Prof Martin Gill will be speaking at the following events:
Greetings!
We had some really good news last week, we have been reaccredited as Investors in People. We have always placed a lot of emphasis on this award, and we were delighted with what the assessor had to say:
"People are extremely committed to ensuring the organisation develops and improves and everyone has a clear understanding of what they personally need to do to help the business move forward and achieve continued success for everyone. People very much feel part of the decision making process and the development of the business in the future.
People constantly talk about "OUR" business, which is a clear indication that people are totally included in every aspect of the business and definitely feel that it is their business rather than just somewhere they work."
Enough of the gloating. I hope that you will enjoy this update which covers work we are undertaking evaluating CCTV on buses, a project on violence against teachers and we cover some of the work we have been doing on alcohol needs assessments.
With best wishes
Martin Gill
Transport for London trial live CCTV on buses
Perpetuity has been commissioned by Transport for London (TfL) to evaluate the trial of live CCTV on 21 London buses.
For six months, 21 buses on one London route will have a live CCTV link to the Transport for London (TfL) incident control room enabling staff to access live images on buses on the selected route in the event of an incident.
Graham Daly, Head of Crime Reduction and Police Liaison with Transport for London said that
"We are delighted to be working with Perpetuity and using their expertise in this field to help us evaluate the effectiveness of this trial".

More than 1,500 teachers in Wales were verbally or physically assaulted last year
The British Crime Survey[1] found that teaching is one of the occupations most at risk of assaults at work with at least one percent having been a victim of one or more assaults and threats. New statistics obtained by the Welsh Government found that 340 teachers in Wales were victims of violent attacks whilst almost 1,200 suffered verbal abuse.
Perpetuity takes safety and security in schools seriously and works with a number of partners, including the teaching union NASUWT and the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), to provide up to date information, support policy development and develop tools that education providers, including schools, colleges and universities can use to improve their response to security and incidents.
In 2008, Bedfordshire Drug and Alcohol Action Team (B:DAT) commissioned Perpetuity to undertake an alcohol needs assessment. The main aim of the assessment was to gather a body of evidence to inform the development of a local alcohol strategy.
Some of the key recommendations to emerge from the study have provided a foundation on which local partners can commission a treatment system that is built on evidence based practice.
