About Us

Who we are

The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 placed a statutory duty on local authorities to form a Community Safety Partnership (CSP) to tackle crime, disorder, anti-social behaviour, substance misuse and other behaviour adversely affecting the local environment and to reduce re-offending. In County Durham, the CSP is the Safe Durham Partnership.

Membership

Membership of the Safe Durham Partnership is made up of the following partners:

Responsible authorities:

  • Durham County Council
  • Durham Constabulary
  • County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service
  • National Probation Service
  • County Durham Clinical Commissioning Group

Additional members:

  • Office of the Police, Crime & Victims’ Commissioner
  • Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust
  • County Durham & Darlington NHS Foundation Trust
  • HMP Durham
  • Voluntary and Community Sector

What we do

The Safe Durham Partnership is required by statute to develop an annual strategic assessment. Its purpose is to enable the Safe Durham Partnership Board to:

  • identify its strategic priorities for the forthcoming year
  • identify key crime and disorder risks and threats to the community

The Safe Durham Partnership provides strategic level leadership and coordination of Community Safety and has a legal duty to work in partnership to tackle crime, disorder, substance misuse, anti-social behaviour and other behaviour adversely affecting the environment, and to reduce re-offending across County Durham.
