Community Safety Partnership

Home Safety

Accidents, fires and crimes in the home impact directly on individuals and also on all the organisations represented on the Partnership. All of these issues have been addressed separately but never in a co-ordinated way.

The home is an area, which has not been targeted in a multi-dimensional way, therefore there is scope to develop an innovative and highly effective way of dealing with a range of local community safety issues. The Partnership approach is to ensure co-ordinated input into education and preventative measures on crime, accidents and fires within the domestic context and to target those areas and people most vulnerable.

Partnership projects have included:

Home safety training days
"Class Diamonds" - falls management programme
Neighbourhood Watch development pilot

Partnership new initiatives include:

Continuation of home safety training days
Extension of Neighbourhood Watch pilot
Continuation of "Class Diamonds"
Emergency Pots for vulnerable households
