Community Safety in Waverley

What is Community Safety and The Safer Waverley Partnership?

The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 made it a statutory responsibility for Waverley Borough Council to work with the police and other agencies to reduce crime and disorder. This led to the establishment of the Waverley Community Safety Executive.

In 2004, the then Waverley Community Safety Executive was re-named the Safer Waverley Partnership. This was in part to reflect the Partnership's increased membership following the Police Reform Act 2002, and to reflect its ongoing work commitment to Community Safety in Waverley. At this time the Partnership also reviewed its structures to ensure that it had the necessary resources to successfully implement its new strategy.

The Partnership now consists of representatives from the following organisations:

The partnership also works with many other organisations from both the statutory, voluntary and business sectors to deliver projects and improve community safety. The partnership has several delivery groups focusing on areas, individuals and different types of crime and disorder. It also links with groups at divisional, county and regional level. Mary Orton, Chief Executive of Waverley Borough Council is the chair of the Partnership.
