Safer Bradford Community Safety Partnership

The Safer Bradford Community Safety Partnership is a multi-agency partnership working to make our district safer.  Our purpose is to tackle crime, disorder, anti-social behaviour and drug and alcohol misuse problems.

The Safer Bradford Community Safety Partnership brings together representatives from Bradford Council (Safeguarding Adult’s Board, Children’s Safeguarding Board and Health & Wellbeing Board) West Yorkshire Police, National Probation Service, Public Health, Bradford and Airedale NHS, Incommunities, Voluntary and Community Sector, West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service, the CPS and the Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner.

The Safer Bradford Community Safety Partnership Board is our governing body and this is chaired by Councillor Abdul Jabar, the Neighbourhood & Community Services Portfolio Holder. 

The Safer Bradford Community Safety Partnership Board meets quarterly and is supported by three Strategic Groups who co-ordinate Community Safety Strategy and Activity.

The three strategic groups who sit underneath the Safer Bradford Community Safety Partnership Board represent the key priorities for the Partnership which are:

• Tackling Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence,
• Tackling Crime and Reoffending,
• Tackling Anti-Social Behaviour.

The Safer Bradford Community Safety Partnership produces a 3-year 'rolling' community safety plan which is reviewed annually through a strategic assessment.

Each year the Partnership prepares a Strategic Assessment to assist in revising the plan and the community safety priorities for the district.

The strategic assessment includes information on:

• Analysis of levels of crime,
• Changes in crime since last strategic assessment,
• Views from the community on matters that need to be prioritised.
