Don't miss this opportunity to Have Your Say on Business Crime
Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber of Commerce
We're here to support your business.
Time is running out to complete the Business Crime Survey, open until Monday, 9th December. We want to hear from you about how often your business has been affected by issues like shoplifting, burglary, vehicle theft, fraud, assault, or cyber-attacks—and how these crimes have impacted your operations.
Even if your business hasn’t been a victim of crime, your input is still crucial. Understanding the full picture helps us identify areas where support is needed most.
This is your chance to share your experiences and tell us how aware you are of the support available, as well as how satisfied you’ve been with responses to any incidents you’ve reported in the past.
Business crime often goes unspoken, but it has a real impact on livelihoods and communities in Barnsley and Rotherham. Whether it’s theft, vandalism, or cybercrime, your voice matters.
By taking part, you can:
Make sure your voice is heard—complete the survey today before the deadline! Your insights are invaluable in helping us drive meaningful change and build a safer, more supportive environment for local businesses.
