Safer Place
Waltham Forest
awarded White
Ribbon Status
n White Ribbon Campaign aims to end violence against women
and girls
n Council signs a pledge and takes steps to make borough safer
for victims
Waltham Forest has been
awarded White Ribbon Status
in recognition of the boroughs
efforts to end violence against
women and girls and make our
community a safer place.
The White Ribbon Campaign
(WRC) is a male-led campaign,
which gives accreditation to
councils that highlight their
commitment to urge men to take a
stance against violence.
Councillors and senior Council
ofcers met on Tuesday 15 July to
sign pledge boards, acknowledging
their support for the campaign.
They also pledged to take the steps
needed to make the borough a
safer place for victims of domestic
violence.
So far, 45 other councils in the
country have signed the pledge,
including six London boroughs.
Currently, Waltham Forest and
Havering are the only two east
London boroughs to have signed
up.
Cllr Liaquat Ali MBE JP, Cabinet
Member for Community Safety and
Cohesion, told Waltham Forest
News: We are delighted to receive
White Ribbon Status. Violence
against women and girls is wholly
unacceptable and something we
are working hard to tackle.
Abuse can take many forms
and takes place in any kind of
relationship or household. Id
urge any woman who has been
subjected to violence, or who has

Your views on
hate crime
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson,
the Metropolitan Police and Crown
Prosecution Service are asking
Londoners to have their say on how
the citys approach to tackling hate
crime can be improved. Residents and
organisations can give their views as
part of an online consultation which is
open now. The Mayors Ofce for Policing
and Crime (MOPAC) wants to increase
the condence of communities in
reporting hate crimes to the police, and
the consultation aims to ensure better
support for victims and more effective
enforcement against perpetrators of hate
crimes. Hate crime can include verbal
abuse, physical assault, domestic abuse,
harassment and damage to property.
It can be motivated by race, religion,
sexual orientation and disability. The
online consultation closes on Friday 5
September 2014.
To take part in the consultation
visit www.london.gov.uk/priorities/
policing-crime/consultations. Free
internet access is available at all
libraries in the borough.
In brief
concerns for a friend or family
member, to seek the free and
condential help that is available
locally.
I want to encourage as many
residents as possible to support
the campaign and join us in making
a stand against violence towards
women and girls.
The WRC principle of asking men
to take a stand against violence
is now fully incorporated in many
Council projects. This includes the
East London Harmful Practices
pilot - a GLA funded scheme run
in conjunction with Newham and
Tower Hamlets.
This two year pilot looks at how
the boroughs and their partner
organisations can tackle domestic
violence, forced marriage and
other similar issues together. It will
also offer training and educational
resources to the staff involved.
Leyton Orient Football Club has
also been actively working with
the Council since last November
to tackle domestic violence in
the borough. The club signed the
pledge to support the WRC earlier
this year and future projects with the
Council will include a short video
featuring rst team players and
the manager speaking out against
violence and advising victims on
what help is available locally.
The Council also works closely
with the Independent Domestic
Violence Advisory Service (IDVA)
to help victims and witnesses
of domestic violence and abuse
through service providers such as
Victim Support, Stay Safe East,
Ashiana and The Kiran Project.
There are many different types
of abuse. While physical assault
may be what most people think of
rst, abuse can also be of a subtler
nature, such as psychological.
nancial and emotional.
Advice and information on
support services in the borough is
available on the Council website.

violence visit www.walthamforest.

Bogus caller
warning
Residents are being warned to be wary
of bogus callers after a couple of local
incidents targeting residents. Bogus
callers can pretend to be from your gas,
electricity or water company, or say they
are a salesperson or tradesman. Before
you answer your door to unexpected
callers, remember to take the following
steps. Lock all other outer doors before
you answer the front door. Some burglars
work together one keeps you chatting
at the front door while another gets in
through a back door. Put the chain on
the door and look through the window or
spy-hole to see whos there. Ask for an
identity card and examine it carefully. If
you are still unsure, check who they are
by phoning the company they claim to
represent. Get the phone number from
a bill or the phone book rather than a
number they give you, as they could be
putting you through to an accomplice.
You can always ask a caller to come back
at another time when someone will be
with you, or tell them to write to you to
arrange an appointment. A genuine caller
wont mind you taking these precautions.
Remember you do not have to let any
stranger into your home. If you are
suspicious, feel threatened or the caller
will not leave, dial 999 and ask for the
police.
For more advice visit www.ageuk.
org.uk and search bogus callers.
