The India Protocol is our core mission and the most innovative ENTE lone female safeguarding system in the United Kingdom today. Launched after the rape and murder of India Eve Chipchase in Northampton in 2016 the India Protocol has redefined dynamic care within an evening and night-time economy environment.

Our team of specialist welfare officers are amongst the most capable and experienced distress care responders in the United Kingdom.

​

Our ability to respond to a wide range of incidents and emergencies within the ENTE environment makes us a valuable asset to the community we proudly serve and an important strategic partner to the police and local authority.

​

Delivering an unrivaled service we are an essential component in the policing and care provision in Cheltenham's evening and night-time economy.
