Partnership Background

The 1998 Crime and Disorder Act placed a statutory duty on local authorities and the Police to act in co-operation with the Probation Service, Health Authorities and other relevant agencies, to work together to develop and implement a strategy for tackling crime and disorder in their area.  This was later amended in the 2002 Police Reform Act to include the Police Authority, Fire Service and the Primary Care Trust.

So the Herefordshire Community Safety Partnership was established, which then merged with the Herefordshire Drug Action Team in 2004 to form the new Herefordshire Community Safety and Drugs Partnership.

In early 2009, it was decided that we needed to re-brand ourselves, so Safer Herefordshire was born.  However, with the relocation of drug commissioning to Herefordshire Public Health in September 2011, it was deemed an appropriate time to return to our original name of Herefordshire Community Safety Partnership.

Protecting Vulnerable Adults

The Adult Safeguarding Team based at Herefordshire Council and NHS Herefordshire believe it's 'Everybody's Business' to protect and safeguard vulnerable adults within our county.  Unfortunately anybody can become vulnerable if they're unable to take steps to protect themselves and often people may need additional support.  If you would like further information on this topic, please visit the protection of vulnerable adults section of the Herefordshire Council website.
