CitySafe: working to make our streets safer and our neighbourhoods more connected.

Through the CitySafe campaign young people and adults work together to:

• Encourage local businesses and organisations to offer their premises as CitySafe Havens and pledge to report 100% of crime
• Build stronger relationships with their peers, the police and neighbourhood organisations, strengthening their CitySafe Zone
• Organise events that facilitate dialogue between police and young people, led by CitySafe Champions.

A CitySafe Zone is the place in a neighbourhood with an active CitySafe Action Team and Champion who maintain CitySafe Havens and support the CitySafe programme in the community. A CitySafe Haven is a public place to seek refuge in a difficult situation. CitySafe Havens:

• Pledge to report 100% of crime
• Will offer the premises as a safe haven for any young person in danger
• Maintain a relationship with neighbours, police and the local community
• Encourage their staff to attend CitySafe training
• Refuse to sell alcohol, knives or other dangerous items to underage or drunk customers.

A CitySafe Champion leads the action in a CitySafe Zone, they are passionate about safety in their community.
