The new strategy was developed by us and Police Scotland.
In developing the new three-year strategy, we took the decision to widen the scope of the old antisocial behaviour strategy and include broader community safety issues, for example,
- effective safeguarding
- reducing vulnerability
- early intervention and prevention to enable communities to be more inclusive, empowered, resilient and safe.
The strategy is based on working in partnership across the Council and partner agencies including the voluntary sector.
We also know that the strategy will not achieve its goals on its own. To enhance shared aims and promote collaboration, this strategy sits alongside a wide range of policies and strategies, like the Community Justice Outcome Plan (CJOIP).
The three interrelated priority themes that are the focus of this strategy are:
- Reduce harm and safeguard people from antisocial behaviour specifically the impact of noise
- Reduce the likelihood of children and young people engaging in harmful or offending behaviour
- Digitial strategy: Safeguard people from online harm
