Praise for Birmingham venues after undercover tests

Around Christmas time, a plain-clothed police officer visited several venues in Birmingham including Albert Schloss, Slug and Lettuce in Brindley Place, The Dragon Inn (JDW) and Mama Roux in Digbeth (which also has a female safety welfare team patrolling the venue). 

In each venue, the officer tested the venue’s response to ‘Ask for Angela’ and they received a 100% success rate. After the tests were conducted, the officers would speak with the management team and staff to provide praise and feedback on their responses.

For Valentine’s Weekend, West Midlands Police checked what measures venues in Coventry and Solihull had in place in regard to Ask for Angela but this investigation was not undercover.
