The Communities Partnership Plan is the strategic plan which addresses multi-agency, community facing issues affecting quality of life for residents. The Communities Partnership Plan encapsulates the Kirklees Community Safety Plan as required under the Section 5 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998.
The Plan sets out the strategic priorities as:
Reducing violence and tackling exploitation and abuse which includes serious violence, violence against women and girls, organised crime, and safe town centres
Reducing ASB and Neighbourhood Crime which includes personal and environmental ASB, vehicle crime, burglary, and criminal damage
Building Resilient and Inclusive Communities which includes Tackling Hate Crime, safeguarding people from radicalisation, asylum, migration and integration, inclusion and belonging
Risk which includes reducing reoffending, substance misuse, road safety and water safety.
The Plan is informed by the Kirklees Partnership Strategic Needs Assessment which brings relevant date and insight together.
