Report of the Community Safety Team.

Members received a report of the Community Safety Team concerning Prevent which sits within the Corporation’s statutory responsibilities under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 for local authorities to do all they can to prevent crime and disorder in its area. It was noted that the third bullet point on the first page of the report should end with the word ‘response’.

During a detailed introduction to the report it was noted that the Corporation was looking at its departments in order to identify particular risks e.g educational establishments and venue hire. It was noted that children could be radicalised in their own homes via the computer and Members discussed various ways of engaging with parents and the community on this matter. It was agreed that an update be provided at the next meeting, if appropriate.
