  2. Solutions and Strategies: What solutions, recommendations or strategies are out there that are actionable that stakeholders in the night-time economy can implement to enhance safety.

  3. What are the barriers, financially, culturally or in society to enhancing safety?

  4. Inspiration: What initiatives that already exist are working that we can carry forward in NI.

  5. Collaboration: How do we work together to create a safer environment for women and girls.
