The Safer Business Network  is a nationally recognised leader in crime prevention, safety, and resilience training for the hospitality sector. Working closely with pubs, bars, clubs, hotels, local authorities and police forces across the UK, SBN helps venues reduce risk, protect staff, and create environments where customers can enjoy themselves safely and confidently.

At its heart, Safer Business Network believes that safer venues are more successful venues. A well-trained team not only prevents incidents before they escalate but also delivers better customer service, stronger reputations, and greater staff confidence. SBN’s training programmes are designed specifically for the real-world challenges faced by the pub and hospitality industry, blending practical skills with up-to-date intelligence on emerging risks.

SBN delivers a wide range of accredited and specialist training, including conflict management, vulnerability awareness, drink spiking prevention, safeguarding, and leadership in licensed premises. These programmes are developed in partnership with frontline professionals, ensuring that every course reflects what actually happens on the ground in busy, high-pressure hospitality environments. Training can be delivered in person or online, allowing businesses of all sizes to access high-quality learning that fits around their operations.

What truly sets Safer Business Network apart is its integrated, partnership-based approach. SBN is more than a training provider – it is a bridge between hospitality, policing, and local communities. Through its intelligence-sharing platforms and Business Crime Reduction Partnerships, SBN gives venues access to real-time information, offender alerts, and best practice guidance that helps them stay one step ahead of risk. Alongside this, Licensing Connect supports businesses to remain compliant with licensing conditions, meet the licensing objectives, and maintain smooth, well-managed operations across every shift.

For pub and hospitality operators, investing in SBN training is an investment in people. Staff become more confident in dealing with difficult situations, more aware of vulnerable customers, and more capable of defusing conflict early. Managers gain tools to lead safer teams, reduce incidents, and demonstrate strong duty-of-care to regulators, insurers, and local authorities.

At the Pub & Hospitality Show, Safer Business Network will be showcasing how smarter training and better partnerships can transform venue safety and business performance. Whether you run a single pub or a multi-site operation, SBN offers practical, affordable solutions that help you protect your people, your customers, and your reputation — while building a more resilient and responsible hospitality sector for the future.
