Community Safety > Get involved!
Community residents are key to the Local Community Safety Programme and what better way to develop the area where you live than by being directly involved.
And don’t worry, everyone who gets involved will be supported in their roles. The Local Community Safety Partnership will be actively supported by a local community safety coordinator whose role is to support the Partnership, engage the residents in the community on safety issues and link them in with the work of the Partnership.
This can be done through local communications campaigns, local workshops and events in the community. The intention is to provide an on-site, day-to–day, joined-up connection back to the individual services and between the partnership and the community.
Locals are central to identifying problems and solutions for their own community, so the partnerships will have a 51/49% split in favour of local residents and community representatives on the committee.
It is intended that membership of the Local Community Safety Partnership will include: residents; community representatives, including representatives of youth, new communities and the voluntary sector; business and education representatives; relevant public services in the area, including HSE, Tusla, AGS, and the local authority; and Local councillors.
Once the LCSPs are rolled out to your area, you can get involved by contacting your local authority or your local community safety coordinator. This website will be updated with contact details once the LCSPs begin to be set up across the country.
