Burnley - Strategic Assessments
Executive Summary
Aim
The aim of Burnley's Strategic Assessment is to build on the existing framework of successful and innovative partnership working in the borough. The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 became the foundation on which partnerships have developed and has been instrumental in bringing together different agencies to tackle shared issues that affect our communities in relation to community safety.
The Strategic Assessment aims to ensure that as a Community Safety Partnership we are continuing to deliver for our community; improving the way in which agencies within the CSP work together and with the community, identifying and resolving issues, concerns and local community safety priorities.
This approach will ensure the Partnership is both 'visible' and accountable to our communities as well as ensuring that the focus of our activity is regularly monitored and is reviewed annually as opposed to the previous three-year strategy.
Purpose
The Strategic Assessment process will ensure that within Burnley an accurate profile of community safety is obtained and multi-agency measures are implemented and monitored to address the problems effectively.
It will outline the activity that has been undertaken to date to identify the key priorities and threats for Burnley’s Community Safety Partnership.
It will also influence decision making and determine resources and service delivery at a local level, enabling the Partnership to respond to the changing and challenging nature of crime and disorder and other community safety priorities.
Our local Partnership Strategic Assessment, along with other Lancashire District Assessments, will also be utilised by Lancashire County Council as part of their countywide Strategic Assessment.
