2. What is the High Peak Community SafetyWhat is the High Peak Community Safety
Partnership (CSP)?Partnership (CSP)?
Community Safety Partnerships were set up as
statutory bodies under sections of the Crime and
Disorder Act 1998 and aim to bring agencies and
communities together to tackle crime and Anti-
Social Behaviour in the local community.
They are made up of a range of different agencies,
some of which are statutory (required to be there
by law) and some of which are voluntary or co-
operating members. This includes social landlords
and partners from the voluntary sector.

5. What does it do?What does it do?
By law, we must work together to tackle:
• Crime and disorder
• Antisocial behaviour
• Behaviour that spoils the local environment, like dumping
rubbish (fly-tipping), graffiti and dog mess in Public areas
• Misusing drugs and alcohol
• Adult offenders and young offenders reoffending (people
who cause trouble in your local area

6. What does it do?What does it do?
We must carry out a review (a strategic assessment)
of the problems in the district each year. We must
also ask you about crime and disorder issues in
your area and about the problems that you think
are the most important for us to tackle.
We have to use this information to choose the most
important problems that we need to tackle in the
borough in the next year. We must then produce
plans that show how we will work together to tackle
these problems.
