L&CS 116 A review of the implementation of the Bondi Junction Youth Safety Protocol included interviews conducted with key stakeholders and other agencies in January 2006 indicated strong “take up” rates and positive outcomes. There is evidence that the pro active approach established through the development of the protocol has influenced the overall approach to security in Bondi Junction with improved confidence, reduced fear of crime, a greater willingness to engage with young people, and improved cooperation amongst agencies. This represents a significant achievement under Council’s Community Safety Plan. The challenge in 2006/2007 will be to ensure the continued usefulness and understanding about the protocol through promotion and to include new business and new employees throughout the Bondi Junction area in that understanding. Development of safe use guidelines for skate ramp.
