Blaby and Hinckley & Bosworth Community Safety Strategy

The Strategy 2020 - 2023

The Community Safety Partnership (CSP) brings together a collection of people and organisations that have a commitment to reducing crime and disorder and protecting people from harm, while working closely alongside local communities in bringing about a sense of safety for all.

Our purpose

Keeping everyone safe is at the heart of everything we are striving to achieve. The primary purpose of the CSP is to work together to make people and neighbourhoods within the district of Blaby and the borough of Hinckley & Bosworth safer.

Our priority themes and focus

  • Increase reporting of domestic abuse and hate crime and ensure positive outcomes for victims
  • Provide support for victims of domestic abuse and children who have witnessed abuse
  • Provide early intervention and awareness to help protect individuals from harm
  • Work with young people in schools and other settings to ensure they have the knowledge they need to make informed choices and protect themselves from harm
  • Work to raise awareness of exploitation including child sexual exploitation, child criminal exploitation, modern day slavery and county lines
  • Work effectively with the Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) to ensure effective use of community and voluntary resources
