Closes 18th December 2023
In 2022, the Government’s internal review of Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) recommended that the Home Office conduct a full review of Community Safety Partnerships (CSPs) across England and Wales. The CSP Review seeks to clarify the role of CSPs, and improve their transparency, accountability, and effectiveness, making it easier for CSPs to serve the needs of their communities in tackling crime, disorder, and antisocial behaviour.
Phase One of the CSP review launched in March 2023 alongside the Antisocial Behaviour Action Plan. Phase One comprised of a consultation exploring the relationship between CSPs and PCCs, with the aim of improving the way they work together, and strengthening the accountability of Community Safety Partnerships. The Government response to the consultation has now been published and can be found here.
This will bring forward a package of targeted measures to improve alignment and collaboration between CSPs and PCCs.
Phase Two of the CSP Review is building on Phase One to consider the broader role and responsibilities of CSPs in the local partnership landscape.
Evidence gathering surveys will inform the Phase Two work. This is your opportunity to shape the review’s next steps and final recommendations, so we encourage anyone with an interest in the work of CSPs to take the time to respond. The survey will close on 18th December 2023.
The CSP Review team are keen to hear from as many individuals as possible. Please answer as many or as few questions as you wish, in as much or little detail as you wish. There is an option to save your progress in the Survey and complete it at a later date.
Please complete the survey and share with your wider networks:
