Safer communities

Here you will find information about services which strengthen communities and make Cambridgeshire a safer place to live.

Safer Communities Partnership Team

This team improves cooperation between partner agencies in relation to community safety and aims to provide countywide leadership and guidance on new policies and projects relating to community safety and crime reduction.  This team includes representatives from the Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Partnership and the Drug and Alcohol Action Team.

Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Partnership

Aims to improve outcomes for all victims through partnership working. The partnership links in with other bodies to ensure that the issue of domestic violence is high on the agenda of other agencies such as police, probation, social services and health service.

Drug and Alcohol Action Team (DAAT)

The Cambridgeshire Drug and Alcohol Action Team is a multi-agency partnership working to implement the National Drug Strategy.

We commission agencies to provide specialist treatment and targeted prevention work for substance misusing clients who live in Cambridgeshire. The Cambridgeshire DAAT comprises senior staff from the main organisations in the county involved in tackling drug related issues.

Our priorities for 2010- 2013 are:

  • Delivering New Approaches to Drug Treatment and Social Re-integration
  • Preventing Harm to children, young people, and families affected by drug misuse
  • Protecting communities through robust enforcement to tackle drug supply, drug related crime and anti-social behaviour.

Please visit the DAAT website for information about the services and support that we offer.
