Community safety strategy

There are 4 core elements of our Community safety strategy: 

1. Curtail violent acts at source, pursuing perpetrators and enforcing action
2. Treat those who have been exposed to violence to control the spread.
3. Support those susceptible to violence due to their exposure risk factors.
4. Strengthen community resilience through a universal approach.

We have worked with a wide range of institutions represented on the Safer Croydon Partnership Board to develop the strategy. We have involved our voluntary sector partners who participate directly in violence and safety work. Our strategy has also been informed by the views of residents and communities, particularly through surveys of young people and women and girls.
