Issue - meetings

To consider a report from the Group Manager for Public Health and Regulatory Services providing an update on the Community Safety Partnership (CSP) priorities and the planned activities of the partnership for the coming year. 

The Group had before it, and NOTED, the *Community Safety Partnership priorities report 2020-2021.

The Lead Officer, Private Sector Housing, explained that the report detailed the priorities of the Community Safety Partnership for the municipal year 2020-2021. She stated that the activities would be centred around the Devon Partnership Trauma informed approach. This approach encouraged practitioners and staff to recognise that many service users had experienced some form of traumatic event. This may impact on their life choices, activities and actions.

She explained that people suffering trauma needed extra support during the pandemic and there had been an increase in domestic violence and anti social behaviour during the lockdown.

Note: * Community Safety Partnership priorities report 2020-2021 previously circulated and attached to the minutes.

To consider a report from the Group Manager for Public Health and Regulatory Services outlining the Council’s Community Safety Action Plan, and to seek Members recommendation to acknowledge and accept the priorities action plan
