Community Safety Partnerships

Key Activities of Community Safety (and other Local Authority) Partnerships

The key activities of Community Safety (and other Local Authority) Partnership are:

• Raising the issue of drug-related crime and disorder at licensed premises and festivals with all member agencies of the Community Safety Partnership, Health and Wellbeing Board and other key local authority partnerships,
• Developing a forum on crime and disorder at pubs and clubs including concerns around drugs and alcohol, engaging with key agencies,
• Ensuring that the work of this forum is integrated with other key partnerships including young people’s joint commissioning groups, town centre management groups etc.,
• Encouraging the provision of drug education information at pubs, clubs and festivals. See Reducing the harm from drug use.
• Considering the provision of outreach services including drug testing at local festivals. See Drug testing.
• Developing mechanisms for the sharing of intelligence relating to drug dealing and drug use at pubs, clubs and festivals. See Tackling drug dealing.
• Co-ordinating the analysis of drugs seized at pubs and clubs and tested at festivals in order to identify specific risks, assess levels of drug-related harm, and ensuring that this information is shared widely and appropriately. See Drug testing.
• Promoting the drug training of club staff. See Dealing with drug-induced problems.
