Community Safety Partnerships (CSPs) are collaborative bodies in England and Wales that bring together various organisations to tackle crime, anti-social behaviour, substance misuse and re-offending in their local areas. The main purpose of CSPs is to make communities safer and better places to live.
Within the Suffolk System, CSPs sit within the Safer, Stronger Communities Board (SSCB), alongside other senior elected councillors and officer roles from a range of organisations including County, District and Borough Councils, Suffolk Police, Police and Crime Commissioner, and Integrated Care Boards. There are also several established partnerships which interconnect with the priorities of the SSCB, such as Health and Wellbeing Board, Criminal Justice Board, Children’s and Adult’s Safeguarding Partnerships, Youth Justice Board and Safer Schools Board, ensuring that strategic priorities are aligned across the Suffolk System.
