Genesis runs a dodgy punter scheme which allows women to report assaults anonymously if preferred. This ensures that the information can be logged by the police and the information can be shared with other workers to help them keep safe from known violent men. If you have either been assaulted or have concerns about one of your punters then please contact one of the workers to report your concerns and allow us to share this information with other women.

Thanks to this scheme and several women reporting assaults to us, three serial offenders have been convicted of their offences over recent years. Please view the related download opposite for the most recent assaults to date. You can also access information on dodgy punters in the drop-in, on the outreach health bus and during worker's visists to saunas and flats.

If you choose to put in a formal statement against the perpetrator, we can support you through this process by attending appointments with you and helping to make sure that you understand the process.  See attached download opposite as an example of what information Genesis would need. 

Genesis can also offer a safety leaflet free of charge for indoor and outdoor work around safety whilst working.  Please contact the office for your copy, or request one from one of the workers when you see them next or you can collect one from our outreach van or drop in session.  Our safety leaflet is also available to other organisations - if you would like to use this within your own project then please contact the office on the number below.
