India Protocol lone female safeguarding

We will never forget...

In January 2016, India Eve Chipchase was raped and murdered after she was lured away from outside of a night club in Northampton by a sexual predator.

​

India was failed that fateful night. A lack of proactive engagement with the clearly vulnerable India by ENTE resources ensured the sexual predator was given the opportunity to extinguish this young life. India was 20 years old.

​

We have vowed to protect young adults in Cheltenham. Proactive engagement with lone females by our safeguarding team within the evening and night-time economy environment is helping to keep our kids safe. Whilst the India Protocol is a priority for the team our safeguarding remit extends to all patrons of the ENTE, visitors and residents too, regardless of age, sex or status.

For every 10 proactive India Protocol approaches we make around 3 will result in further action or intervention by our experienced safeguarding team.

There when it matters...

The India Protocol is a hugely successful lone female safeguarding initiative created by Cheltenham Guardians and operated as a priority core mission by the safeguarding team.

​

The proactive engagement of lone females by uniformed Guardian officers helps to counter negative issues before they are given the opportunity to escalate.

​

Reactive responses by our team to emergencies already underway are always swift and professional. Once in our care our service users can be assured of their safety, their security, and a protected pathway to resolving the emergency.

​

Sharing our success 

​

​

We are committed to working with any law enforcement agency, local authority or care provider that wishes to explore the possibility of implementing the India Protocol in their own night-time economy. If you would like to find out further information please contact: operations@cheltenhamguardians.org.  

 

The India Protocol is operated in memory of India Eve Chipchase. 

​

​

Go out with a group and stay with the group. Over half of the incidents we attend involve a lone female who has become separated from her group of friends. Safety in numbers!

"The India Protocol is a stunning success and needs to be adopted in night-time economies everywhere"
