Refreshing and refocusing "Birmingham South Community Safety Partnership"

Overview

Birmingham South Community Safety Partnership is one of four of the city's "Local Community Safety Partnerships" which have responsibility for bringing stakeholders together to address community safety across the city's communities and neighbourhoods.  This includes developing long-term approaches to preventing crime and disorder, maintaining community safety, supporting the Birmingham Community Safety Partnership's aims and outcomes for the city, delivering local community safety activity and initiatives in neighbourhoods, as well as forming joint approaches and plans to address concerns about safeguarding, employment and skills, housing, health and wellbeing.

The purpose of the partnership is to bring stakeholders together to work as partners in identifying community safety priorities for the Birmingham South area and commissioning action to address those priorities, through the form of a local partnership plan.  The current plan (2014-2016) is coming to an end and the Birmingham South CSP is now refreshing its membership and stakeholder engagement in order to identify new priorities and actions to deliver for 2017-2019.

This consultation provides stakeholders with the opportunity to identify whether they would like to be involved in this partnership and what that involvement might look like.  It will also help identify what the partnership's members and stakeholders need to be trying to achieve together ahead of renewing local community safety priorities and renewing the collaborative action need to make progress on those priorities for the next couple of years.

Why your views matter

This consultation seeks to engage with all interested parties who consider themselves stakeholders and would like to have some input and involvement in how the Birmingham South Community Safety Partnership takes shape, how it will function and what it will do for the next couple of years, 2017-2019.

What happens next

Anyone who expresses an interest in being part of this partnership as a full member, involved on specific issues or just kept informed will be added to the mailing list and invitations to take part in relevant activities and meetings from January 2017.
