About The Tendring Community Safety Partnership

Making Tendring Safer

The Community Safety Partnership (CSP) aims to reduce crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour affecting the local environment, including the misuse of drugs and alcohol. We reassess the key priorities every year to meet the needs of the community. We then put together an action plan to look at how the work achieved matches the priorities.

For 2024- 2025, we have identified four key priorities to improve community safety:

Tackling ASB and The Root Causes including Hate Crime:

Identifying and supporting repeat and vulnerable victims. Identify hotspot locations and / or increases in ASB trends. Anti-Social Behaviour affects families and communities and by addressing these activities we can help improve the quality of life in the community. Improve perceptions and facilitate local problem solving to address issues.

High Harm Violence:

Domestic Abuse, Sexual Offences including Rape, CSE, Gang related violence, Hate Crime, Cyber bullying / grooming, Serious Organised Crime to include Modern Day Slavery, Human Trafficking and Violent Extremism, Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG), Drug Driving Violence.

Emerging Threats and Trends:

Identifying hotspot locations, and / or increases in crime trends. Work with partner agencies to raise awareness of Knife Crime, Speeding, Possession and Trafficking of Drugs across the district. The fear of crime, whether real or perceived, can also have a very serious impact upon people and communities.

Reduce youth offending and re-offending of adults and young people

Reduce youth offending and reoffending of adults and young people, thereby reducing instances of residential (dwelling) burglary, most serious violence, personal robbery and drug offences.

Reoffending affects families and communities and by reducing it we can help increase community cohesion and improve their quality of life. The fear of crime, whether real or perceived, can also have a very serious impact upon people and communities. Reducing reoffending can help build safer communities and increase public confidence in the criminal justice system.

Underpinning the above strategic priorities will be effective partnership working, the partnership will also work together to meet emerging local threats and trends.

This will be achieved by sharing information and data to identify emerging issues, working together to devise and deliver local solutions and targeting resources accordingly.

About The Tendring Community Safety Partnership

In 1998 it was identified by the then government that in order to effectively tackle crime and disorder agencies needed to work together to tackle identified issues collectively. Community Safety Partnership's (CSP's) formerly Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships (CDRP's) were set up to be the conduit between different agencies and organisations both statutory and voluntary.
