What does night-time safety education for schools cost?

£175 for a single assembly, £300 for both year groups in one visit, up to £1,000 for a whole Safe Nights Day. Travel, materials, follow-up pack and report included. Kent is the base rate; London, Essex, Hertfordshire and East Sussex add £50 to £100 of travel. Cluster bookings the same day or week are discounted.

Why pay when police visit schools for free?

Police visits are valuable and complementary. UNight brings the operational inside view of venues, door teams and safety schemes, delivered by someone who has run them, with local forces invited to endorse or attend.

Does it cover the 2026 RSHE statutory guidance?

Yes, mapped module by module including misogyny and VAWG, personal safety in public places and preparation for adult life. Schools receive the mapping for curriculum evidence.

Which areas are covered?

Kent, London, Essex, Hertfordshire and East Sussex for 2026-27, delivered in clusters. Kent is the base rate, other areas add £50 to £100 of travel per visit. Other areas open when three or more schools want dates.

Schools Programme | Night-Time Safety Education for Sixth Forms

The programme

Two assemblies, staged by age. A programme, not a one-off talk.

Each assembly runs 40 to 50 minutes with a tutor follow-up pack, staff briefing note and pre and post polling, mapped to the RSHE statutory guidance that became mandatory in September 2026. Both are usually delivered in one visit.

And here is exactly how travel changes it

We are Kent-based, so Kent prices are the base rate. Elsewhere we simply add real travel: 40p per mile driven or the train fare, which in practice works out as below. Use the quote form and we confirm your exact figure within two working days.

Where you are	What it adds per visit
Kent	Base rate, no addition
London, Essex, Hertfordshire, East Sussex	+ £50 to £100
Everywhere else	Quoted on actual travel, and free delivery may apply where a police, council or sponsor programme is live

Clustering is the other lever: book the same day or the same week as a neighbouring school and the cluster rate applies, because the travel is shared. The first school to book in an area sets the week.

The national picture

Leaders are asking for exactly this.

“Violence against women and girls is everyone’s business... it has to come from charities, businesses, public bodies of every kind and most importantly from the public themselves.”

Jess Phillips MP, Minister for Safeguarding and VAWG · ministerial foreword, national VAWG strategy

“Violence against women and girls is a national emergency.”

DCC Maggie Blyth, National Police Chiefs’ Council lead for VAWG · national policing statement

The Prime Minister has set a goal to halve VAWG within ten years. VAWG sits in the Strategic Policing Requirement, spiking is now a standalone offence under the Crime and Policing Act 2026, and every secondary school needs a credible healthy relationships offer by 2029. This programme is the practical answer, and forces are invited to endorse every delivery.

They ask: who is behind this?

The partners, and what each one brings.

UNight

Brings: the curriculum, the delivery and the Kent proof. A night-time economy consultancy working across licensing, public affairs and safety since 2014, founded by a career youth worker turned industry operator. Enhanced DBS, safeguarding protocols, RSHE mapping.

Ask for Angela

Brings: the UK's best-known safer-socialising scheme. Anyone who feels unsafe can ask venue staff for "Angela" and trained teams discreetly help. Students learn how it works from the people who train venues to run it.

Best Bar None

Brings: the Home Office-backed accreditation for well-run venues. Students learn what an accredited venue means and how to choose where to spend their money, rewarding operators who keep them safe.

The Glitter Standard

Brings: the accreditation for genuinely inclusive, safe venues, with specialist strands for LGBTQIA+ inclusion and neurodiversity, trained by lived-experience trainers and tested by unannounced annual checks. Students learn that a truly safe night out is one where everyone is welcome, and how to spot the venues that mean it.

Why industry partners? Because safety education only works if the world students walk into matches what they were taught. What they learn on a Tuesday morning is what they find on a Saturday night.

Proof and assurance

Proven in Kent. Built to pass your DSL's checks.

Piloted across six Kent schools with the support of the schools, Kent Police and safety partners: The King's School Canterbury, both Simon Langton grammar schools, The Abbey School Faversham, Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School Faversham and Highworth Grammar School Ashford. References available on request.

The line that sums it up: we care about your wellbeing before you become our customers.

Enhanced DBS shared ahead of every visit, delivery under your safeguarding and visitor policies
All content pre-shared for review, as the RSHE guidance expects of external providers
Disclosures passed immediately to your DSL, signposting and anonymous question route in every session
Public liability insurance, consent content framed on the law and perpetrator responsibility, never victim blame

They ask, we answer

The questions heads of sixth form actually ask.

What does it cost, all in?

The table above is the whole answer: £175 for a single assembly, £300 for both year groups in one visit, up to £1,000 for a Safe Nights Day. No hidden extras. Travel outside Kent and cluster discounts are the only variables.

Why pay when the police visit for free?

Take the police visit if it's offered: it's valuable and we say so. What we add is the inside view of how venues, door teams and safety schemes actually operate, delivered by someone who has run them. In Kent, police supported our sessions rather than replacing them.

Is one assembly enough to change anything?

On its own, no, which is why we don't sell one. Every booking includes tutor follow-up materials, a staff briefing and pre and post polling, because the evidence says reinforcement beats one-offs.

Is it appropriate for the nightlife industry to teach consent?

Our consent content is built on the law, framed on perpetrator responsibility and never victim behaviour, and every word is shared with your school in advance. The industry perspective matters because licensed venues are where risk concentrates, and we see what actually happens.

What do we need to provide, and when should we book?

A hall with a screen and microphone, the year group and a staff member present throughout. Half a term ahead is comfortable; cluster weeks schedule around the first school to book in an area, so early bookings get the date and the lower price.

How do we know it works?

Every session is polled before and after and you receive your own cohort's results. Six schools and 1,600+ students in the Kent pilot, with the programme built toward independent evaluation as it scales. Data, not adjectives.

Booking

Enquire, confirm, deliver. It's that short.

Tell us your school, area and rough timing. We reply within two working days with cluster dates and your exact price. Before the visit you receive the full content outline, DBS certificate and insurance documents. After it, the tutor pack, your polling report and the invoice.
