Community Safety

Community Safety Partnerships where established under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 which was amended by the Police and Justice Act 2006.

The 1998 Act sets out who the responsible authorities are and the various duties. Section 17 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, as amended by the Police and Justice Act 2006, requires responsible authorities to consider crime and disorder (including anti-social behaviour and other behaviour adversely affecting the local environment): and the misuse of drugs, alcohol and other substances in the exercise of all their duties, activities and decision making.

This means that in all policies, strategies and service delivery there is a need to consider the likely impact of crime and disorder. The Act also saw the establishment of the Youth Offending Service.

The Council fund the post of Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator, which is based with Haringey Police. Historically NHWs focused on their local street/area, but the Coordinator now actively encourages NHWs to ‘adopt’ their local green space

374 Neighbourhood Watch coordinators are in communication with the Coordinator on a regular basis, who in turn disseminates information to their members. 

13% of NHW coordinators are not on email and are communicated with by post or phone

244 Watches (78%) have completed the new NHW registration form; leaving 68 Watches (22%) still to complete the form.  This form requests Watches to include a park within their Watch area and update the number of members/households covered.  This requires a visit by a Safer Neighbourhoods Team Officer.

202 Watches (83% of those that have completed the form) have agreed to include a

named park in their Watch
