National Personal Safety Awards 2017

In partnership with

This year’s National Personal Safety Awards was another moving and inspirational event and it was particularly poignant that this year’s Awards took place the day after, and was so close to, the terrible attacks on Westminster, Wednesday 22^nd March. A moments pause was held in memory of those affected by the attacks and tribute was given to the police for all they do to keep us safe.

Our thanks to all those who joined us in celebrating and recognising the hard work of individuals and groups who through their work and commitment to personal safety make a real contribution to keeping people safe.

A further thanks to Peoplesafe, one of the UK’s leading providers of lone worker safety solutions, for supporting the awards for a second year running.

We are pleased to announce the winners of this year's National Personal Safety Awards.
