UK Athletics in cooperation with the Home Country Athletics Federations have published updated safety advice for runners as well as suggested guidance for non-runners.

If you're a lone runner, great advice on pre run planning, how to react to negative behaviours during a run and reporting issues post run.

Also a great section for the public in general as to how to be a running ally, sometimes what's deemed to be a joke or fun can be very intimidating to an individual.
