Sign up to the Community Safety Charter
The aim of the Community Safety Charter is to involve a broader range of local organisations, charities, businesses and groups in crime prevention activity and extend the scope of this work towards the goal of eliminating harassment, antisocial behaviour, and intimidation experienced by anyone who lives, works, studies, or visits anywhere in England and Wales.
The Community Safety Charter is a means by which Neighbourhood Watch members, local residents, businesses, and organisations agree to do whatever they can together to provide an environment that is safer for everyone and help us to meet this goal by committing to:
The Pledges
- Promote a culture that does not tolerate antisocial behaviour, harassment, intimidation and hostility towards others.
- Enable others to identify and take an active stance against these crimes and incidents.
- Actively encourage and support those who experience or witness these crimes and incidents to report them to the relevant authorities.
- Support those affected and signpost those who need further support to agencies that can help them
