Consultation for Safe Newcastle's Community Safety Strategy

 

 

Barefoot Research and Evaluation is currently supporting Safe Newcastle's three year community safety strategy by consulting local communities and frontline agencies and feeding this back into service delivery. This allows for constant service development and improvement through regular feedback from residents and frontline staff. Which in turn means improving community safety projects and reducing crime and disorder.

 

For this work we interview residents, communities of interest (e.g. asylum seekers and refugees), direct project beneficiaries and project workers and feed the results back to project coordinators. These then subsequently redeploy resources, change their approach or spread the good practice. 

 

Projects that we have assisted in such a way include:

 

• Re-deployable CCTV

• Student safety initiatives

• Multi-agency approaches to anti-social behaviour

• Drugs and alcohol initiatives

• Projects to tackle youth disorder and anti-social behaviour

• Asylum Seeker and Refugee support projects

• Arts development to tackle anti-social behaviour

• Mini moto projects

• Media and communications

• Safe Neighbourhoods and Problem Solving initiatives

• Community engagement methods

• Community safety initiatives on public transport

• Community cohesion projects

The research and evaluation is constantly improving project and strategy and strengthening Safe Newcastle's strategy.
