“Only 38% of people feel they can influence decisions in their local area”
(Citizenship Survey, April – September 2007)
“Despite falling crime rates, 40% of the population still thought local crime had increased over the past two years”
(Crime in England and Wales 2006/2007)
With statistics like these it’s no wonder that identifying routes of engagement to build resilient communities is top of the Government agenda. As a member of a community safety and development partnership it’s your role to implement policy into practice. That’s why IQPC’s Partnering & Engaging for Safer, Stronger Communities 2008, taking place 30th June & 1st July, Birmingham, identifies practical strategies to help you develop effective, mutually beneficial partnerships with positive, measurable outcomes.
