Crime Reduction - Helping to Reduce Crime in Your Area

Key messages from the guidance include:

• A local partnership group should be clearly tasked to take forward local action on Prevent with the right level and spread of representation to take effective decisions. This may be the CDRP but it is essential to review membership to ensure that all relevant partners are included.
• Local authorities and the police should take the lead and ensure that other partners from the statutory and voluntary sector are involved.
• Local partners are expected to put in place a robust action plan that effectively addresses and evaluates the seven objectives of the strategy.
• A proportionate response is essential. All areas should be thinking about the Prevent Strategy but the level of response should be carefully considered against the individual local challenge.
