Approaches
A public health approach
A public health approach focuses on understanding and addressing the root causes of violence rather than just responding to its symptoms. It treats violence as a preventable issue, much like a disease, and works to reduce it through early intervention, prevention, and long-term solutions. This approach involves analysing data to identify risk factors, engaging communities, and promoting collaboration between agencies to tackle the wider social and economic factors that contribute to violence.
- Problem Identification
- Risk and Protective factor Identification
- Prevention strategies development and testing
- Implement at scale
Four Ps
We will use the four Ps approach to reduce violence, abuse and exploitation, protect victims and to take action against those who perpetrate crime
Prepare - Ensuring there are systems and processes in place to prevent incidents of crime
Prevent - Preventing crime before it happens by raising awareness, educating the community and implement programs and initiatives to prevent crime.
Protect - To provide support to safeguard those who have been victims of crime and are vulnerable to crime and exploitation.
Pursue - To take action against perpetrators of crime and hold offenders to account for their crimes.
Trauma-informed approach
The Community Safety Partnership recognises the impact of trauma on individuals, groups, and communities. It is important for us to improve the partnership's understanding of a trauma-informed approach. To ensure that policies, strategies, and initiatives undertaken by the partnership consider trauma-informed principles. We encourage trauma-informed training for professionals working within our partnership.
