Community Safety Bulletin issue 51 - Safer Derbyshire

Partnerships, Fire Service and the voluntary, community and independent (VCI)
sector.
As part of this provision we organised two successful briefing events which included
the Integrated Offender Management Briefing in partnership with Derbyshire
Probation Trust, and Derbyshire Domestic Abuse Conference with Adult Care, which
were attended by over 300 delegates.
Our courses range from the basic Introduction to Community Safety to more in depth
courses such as MARAC (Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference- protecting
victims of domestic abuse from serious harm and homicide) and MAPPA (Multi-
Agency Public Protection Arrangements, run in partnership with Derbyshire
Probation Trust). We also offer an e-learning module; An Introduction to Anti-Social
Behaviour and how it is tackled in Derbyshire, which has been available on the Safer
Derbyshire website.
Our events and courses are extremely popular and continue score very highly in the
delegate’s evaluation. The courses we provide equip staff with the relevant skills to
engage in Community Safety work as part of their everyday roles in an interactive
way.
