Our goal is to keep people safe and to create a city that is welcoming for all.
Our Community Safety Partnership will continue to deliver work to address serious violence and exploitation, including modern slavery and human trafficking, hate crimes and incidents and the harm they cause.
We will continue to address the risk of extremism and terrorism through our multi-agency Prevent Board, working in close partnership with Police colleagues. Our Channel Panel and Adolescent Risk and Vulnerability Meetings will continue to support people at risk of being radicalised and criminally exploited.
With our partners in the Brighton & Hove Combatting Drugs Partnership, we will agree and implement a new multi-agency Drug and Alcohol Strategy, to reduce drug and alcohol-related harm and crime.
We will take forward our work to tackle violence against women and girls, including establishing working groups to drive forward our new strategy. We will build collaborative working partnerships across Sussex to deliver our plans.
We will work closely with the police and the Business Improvement District to protect the public and our town centres from antisocial behaviour, retail crime and shop theft.
We will develop a new Community Cohesion Strategy, to ensure that all residents and visitors feel safe and welcome in our city.
As a leisure destination hosting events, attractions and festivals with an international profile and more than 150 community events spread across open spaces in the city, our events programme will continue to reflect our creative, diverse and inclusive city, and aim to enrich the lives of residents.
