WHY FREE?
Because safer venues make safer cities
Since 2011 Eboracum has worked alongside venues, BIDs, councils and police to keep people safe on a night out, from door supervision and Street Rangers to taxi marshals and community safety teams. We’ve seen what good looks like. Sharing it is the quickest way to raise the bar for everyone.
“Most licence reviews don’t start with one big incident – they start with missing paperwork and a few small problems nobody wrote down. This toolkit fixes that.”
– Carl Nickson, Founder, Eboracum
QUESTIONS
Good to know
Is it really free?
Yes. No subscription, no hidden fees. We’ll send the toolkit and might occasionally share licensing updates.
What format are the documents?
Editable Microsoft Word documents and PowerPoint slides, so you can add your venue name, logo and details in minutes.
Does it cover the law where I am?
The toolkit is written for England & Wales under the Licensing Act 2003. Always check your own premises licence and your local licensing authority’s policy.
Will it help with Best Bar None?
Yes – there’s a dedicated section and evidence portfolio mapped to the Best Bar None themes. Local schemes vary, so check your scheme’s current criteria too.
Is this legal advice?
No. It’s practical guidance and templates to help you meet good practice. For legal advice, speak to a licensing solicitor or your licensing authority.
Can Eboracum help us put it in place?
Absolutely. We offer friendly venue audits, Best Bar None preparation, Martyn’s Law support, SIA door supervision and staff training. Just ask when you request the toolkit.
