Policies, strategies and plans - Community Safety Partnership Action Plan

Summary

The Sevenoaks District Community Safety Partnership brings together all of the agencies in the District who can have an impact on crime, anti-social behaviour and the fear of crime.

The Partnership has three key aims. They are to:

  • Reduce and detect crime
  • Reduce anti-social behaviour and the fear of crime
  • Strengthen community involvement

Each year the Partnership undertakes an assessment of crime and disorder in the District using data provided by partners and feedback from residents.

The assessment identifies the priority issues for the next year using the following rationale for each community safety type:

  • Whether there is significant community concern
  • Whether there is an increasing trend
  • Whether it contributes to a high volume of crime
  • The level of harm it causes
  • How well it is performing compared with other parts of Kent and similar partnerships nationally
  • Whether the Partnership can add value to the work

This Action Plan identifies where we can best work together to achieve results.
