What is the Local Community Safety Partnership (LCSP)? 

The Local Community Safety Partnership will play a vital role in enhancing community safety nationwide. The concept of community safety is about people being safe and feeling safe in their own community.

The partnership approach is built on two premises:

1. Every community is different and has different problems and issues.
2. Responding to those problems and issues requires a range of inputs from across Government, local services, voluntary sector and the community itself.

The primary objectives of Kerry Local Community Safety Partnership will be to:

• Prioritise issues identified by the community as safety concerns
• Ensure community engagement and representation on the Safety Partnership
• Improve multi-agency collaboration
• Increase community confidence in service providers.
