Tackling crime, disorder, anti-social behaviour and alcohol and drug misuse. Reducing the fear of crime

Alcohol and Your Child.  Keeping your child safe

The New Forest Community safety Partnership is undertaking a project with secondary schools around the New Forest to raise the awareness of parents and carers on what effects alcohol has on children.  An information leaflet and the results of a survey of young people that asked what they drank and how they got hold of the alcohol is being posted to parents.  The leaflet and the surveys can be downloaded - just click on the links below

The Partnership

The New Forest Community Safety Partnership aims to reduce crime, disorder, anti-social behaviour and drug and alcohol misuse and reduce the fear of crime.

Every year the Partnership looks at the recorded crime figures and listens to what the local communities say are their biggest worries and experiences.  This assessment is called the annual strategic assessment and it helps the Partnership identify what are the key priorities for improvement that it must focus on.  Just because something is not a priority does not mean that it is not tackled; all partners go about their business as usual but working together they aim to deliver the following three key priorities, two flagship priorities and one core business priority:

Anti-social behaviour, offending and re-offending

Acquisitive crime (theft from vehicle, burglary, non dwelling burglary, shoplifting, distraction burglary, metal thefts)

Availability and visibility of drugs

Flagship priority: Alcohol misuse and related assault in a public place that causes injury

Flagship priority: Repeat domestic abuse and the reporting of domestic abuse

Core Business Priority:  Community reassurance and engagement
