South Worcestershire Community Safety Partnership
The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 placed a duty on local
authorities, County Councils and the Police to form a local
Partnership and co-operate in the development and implementation of
a strategy for tackling Crime and Disorder in the District Council
area. This local Partnership is known as the Community Safety
Partnership. In April 2003 the three statutory
Partnerships in South Worcestershire (Wychavon, Worcester City and
Malvern Hills) merged to form a single South Worcestershire
Community Safety Partnership. New partners also had a
statutory duty placed upon them to join the Partnership.
The Partnership brings together the existing work to reduce
crime and improve community safety and acts as the formal body to
meet the requirements of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998.

- Wychavon District Council
