05 July 2009What is PACT?
PACT (Partners and Community Together) aims to identify local community priorities. It brings together Police and the Sevenoaks District Community Safety Partnership with local people to work together to improve communities.
PACT consists of a toolkit of six methods of community engagement. The most appropriate method(s) will depend on the needs and requirements of the local area. They are:
PACT will continue to seek the views and involvement of local communities. It is important that people are given the opportunity to help solve issues which will shape the future of their own communities
PACT is organised by the Sevenoaks District Community Safety Partnership. The Partnership includes:
West Kent Police
Sevenoaks District Council
Kent County Council
Kent Fire & Rescue Service
West Kent Primary Care Trust
West Kent Housing Association
Moat Housing
Kent Probation Service
The Youth Offending Service
Voluntary organisations
What happens next?
The Community Safety Partnership will use all of the information given by residents and will put together an action plan to deal with the most pressing issues.
We will contact people who have volunteered to sit on a PACT Panel to help us to take forward the action plan and to continue to prioritise local issues for their community.
We will publicise the results of the evening in local newsletters so that everyone knows what is happening
