What we do
South Ayrshire Community Safety Partnership is committed to building safe, secure
and healthy communities. We want to develop communities where people benefit from
social equality and opportunity and are not overshadowed by crime or the fear of
crime. We are also dedicated to providing protection for the most vulnerable people
in South Ayrshire.
The strategic purpose of the Community Safety Partnership is to create a Safe, Healthy
and
Confident South Ayrshire. Three Sub Groups lead on these key priorities,
each led by a different partner.
The Community Safety Partnership is a theme group of South Ayrshire’s Community
Planning Partnership and is responsible for delivering the Safe & Supported
section of the Single Outcome Agreement.
The Community Safety Partnership has responsibility for developing and delivering
three key strategies with the aim of making South Ayrshire a safer place to live
and work:
The Partnership is supported by South Ayrshire Council’s Community Safety
Services which include:
- South Ayrshire Monitoring Station (CCTV, Community Alarms etc.)
- Antisocial Behaviour (Neighbour Disputes) Team, including Mediation, Tackling Violence
Against Women & Victim Support
- Two area based Community Safety Problem Solving Teams, including Community
Support Officers.
The service works in partnership to help make South Ayrshire a Safer, Healthier
more Confident place. Working with people across the community is a key aspect of
our work. A
Problem Solving Co-ordination Group links with partners, including community
groups, to identify and prioritise potential problem solving groups and identify
available resources. Analysing the most up to date information and research provided
by our partner agencies is central to the work of the Partnership, making sure that
we are responsive to real issues that affect the people in South Ayrshire.
