Safer Somerset Partnership
Working to tackle crime, disorder and antisocial behaviour, and to reduce re-offending to make our communities feel safe and be safe
Introduction
Community Safety Partnerships are nationally recognised bodies. Under the Crime and Disorder Act (1998), ‘statutory partners’ which include councils, the police, fire service, integrated care boards and probation services should work in partnership to reduce crime and disorder.
Our duties
The Partnership must deliver against a range of statutory duties including reducing reoffending, commissioning Domestic Homicide Reviews and holding annual scrutiny of its work.
