Community Partnership

Community Safety Partnerships were formed following the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. The Act made it a statutory duty for each local authority area to have a Community Safety Partnership.

Domestic homicide review
Domestic Homicide Reviews (DHRs) are required by law and are the responsibility of the Community Safety Partnership (CSP).  The purpose of a DHR is to consider the circumstances that led to the domestic violence homicide. This will enable public bodies, community and voluntary sector organisations identify where responses to the situation could have been improved.

Section 17 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 imposes a duty on the responsible authorities to:

'Without prejudice to any other obligation imposed upon it... exercise its functions with due regard to...the need to do all it reasonably can to prevent crime and disorder in its area.'

A diverse range of local authority functions and statutory services are subject to Section 17 e.g:

  • Crime & Disorder
  • Road Safety
  • Substance Misuse
  • Reduce Re-offending

 

Central & Welsh Government work streams:

  • CONTEST - reduce the risk to the UK and its interests overseas from terrorism, so that people can go about their lives freely and with confidence.
  • Serious & Organised Crime - costs the United Kingdom at least £24 billion a year.  In October 2013 the Government's Serious and Organised Crime Strategy was launched. 
  • Integrated Offender Management (IOM) is an overarching approach aimed at the management of priority groups of high risk offenders.
  • Community Cohesion - The Welsh Government published the National Community Cohesion Delivery Plan 2014-16, in June 2014.  It was published to continue to strengthen, mainstream and sustain both local and regional community cohesion approaches
