The third Annual Safer Communities Conference will look at the immediate issues facing the local authority community safety world, not least the significant reduction in public sector spending announced in the new government's budget. The scale of savings councils, the police and other partners will have to find means community safety activity can no longer be delivered in the same way. Community Safety Partnerships will have to deliver safer communities in a very different way than in the last decade.
The programme will include sessions on:
- The key community safety priorities of the new government and the role it sees for councils in tackling crime;
- Getting more from partnerships through greater collaboration and taking a place-based approach;
- Improving public confidence including an in-depth look at the work of Sunderland City Council, the Local Innovation Award winners;
- Coping with the Comprehensive Spending Review squeeze and concentrating on core activities;
- ASB casework management;
- Early intervention and preventing offending;
- Reducing re-offending; and
- Police and Crime Commissioners and the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill
