Promoting Community Safety We contribute to promoting community safety in a number of ways: • Participating with the police, the Council and other statutory agencies in the detection and prevention of crime and anti-social behaviour. This includes involvement in Information Sharing Protocols, attending regular Anti-Social Behaviour Problem Solving Groups, attendance at the Cardiff Exclusions Panel and attendance at local PACT meetings. • Making sure our new homes conform to ‘Secure by Design’ standards. • Promoting community safety with our tenants. • Taking action against those who have committed crimes and acts of disorder on our estates.
Neighbourhood Watch You can contribute to community safety by starting a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme in your local area. This is a scheme where you can get involved in keeping a watch on homes in your local community and reporting any suspicious activity to the police. You can find out more about how to set up a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme by contacting the National Neighbourhood Watch Association (NNWA) or your local police station. NNWA can be contacted on: 020 7963 0160 info@neighbourhoodwatch.net
