Southwark Alliance - Safer Southwark Partnership

Safer Southwark Partnership

The Safer Southwark Partnership (SSP) is Southwark’s combined statutory crime and disorder reduction partnership (CDRP) and drug and alcohol action team (DAAT).

The SSP brings together a range of statutory and voluntary sector services to work together to reduce crime, fear of crime, anti social behaviour and substance misuse in the borough.

The overall decision making body of the partnership is the SSP board which meets at least four times a year. The board oversees the work of its strategic groups, which focus on priority issues:

Violent crime
Drug and alcohol misuse
Youth crime
Adult re-offending
Anti social behaviour
Victims and witnesses

In the past all CDRPs in England and Wales have been required to produce a three year strategy. The Police and Justice Act 2006 brought in a new statutory framework for CSRPs which requires us to:,

Prroduce an annual strategic assessment
Produce a three year rolling plan setting out the partnership priorities and actions to deliver those priorities
Meet the minimum standards for a CDRP as set out in the Home Office guidance
