Community Safety

People

The Scottish Government believes that everyone has the right to be safe and feel safe in their communities. That is why we are committed to creating and supporting safer and stronger communities - where we live, work and play - in which we all take responsibility for our actions and how they affect others.

The Community Safety Unit (CSU) works to improve and promote community safety across Scotland by focusing on a range of issues - from reducing antisocial behaviour and violence to promoting more positive behaviour, through the CashBack for Communities programme.

The CSU also works to support greater capacity and expertise within the community safety sector, developing relevant guidance, support and tools for practitioners through the Safer Communities Programme.

Questions about community safety or antisocial behaviour should be directed to the Community Safety Partnership (CSP) within the relevant local authority

Community Safety Convention 2010

The 2010 National Community Safety Convention was hosted by the Scottish Government's Community Safety Unit, on 13-14 September.

The Convention hosted the awards ceremony for the inaugural Safer Communities Awards which recognised and rewarded excellent and innovative practice across the community safety sector in Scotland. The awards list and case studies of shortlisted entries are now available.
