Community safety is all about the issues that make people safe, or unsafe, in their communities.

Achieving safer communities depends on everyone working together to find local solutions to local problems.

Everyone has the right to feel and be safe – to make sure this is possible, this responsibility is shared between:

• the community
• the public sector (such as the Council and the police)
• the private sector (such as local businesses)
• the faith sector (such as the local church)
• voluntary organisations.
