Borneo Martell Turner Coulston LLP is a law firm offering a broad range of legal services for individuals and businesses and employs 53 workers across its offices in Northampton and Kettering.

They are the latest of 119 organisations to sign up to the Charter, and by doing so pledge to take simple steps in their workplace to make women and girls as safe as they possibly can.

Danielle recently visited their Northampton premises on Billing Road, where she explained the benefits of signing up to the scheme. This includes access to bespoke training packages for staff, support from crime prevention specialists to make any physical improvements to safety at their premises and becoming part of an ever-growing community of organisations committed to making Northamptonshire a safe place for women.

The firm have already sent a Women’s Charter survey out to staff, which is part of the suite of resources made available to signatories, asking for any actions they can take to improve safety in and around their premises.
