– To build public confidence in the agencies involved in creating safer communities; and
– To promote services to victims and the vulnerable that meet their needs
AND to contribute to at least ONE of the North East Lincolnshire Community Safety Partnership indicators:
- Overall crime
- Offending and reoffending

- Anti-social behaviour
- Violent crime
- Domestic abuse
- Child exploitation
- Organised crime groups
- Counter terrorism
- Residents feel safe
- Modern slavery
The Community Safety Partnership also works collaboratively to develop community cohesion and tackle hate crime to ensure that all people in North East Lincolnshire “benefit from sustainable communities”.
Please note that the CRF Panel invites applications that address community safety and is not able to fund projects that focus on the impact of Covid 19 if they are unrelated to crime and disorder.

Additional information
The North East Lincolnshire (NEL) Community Safety Partnership (CSP) is one of four crime reduction partnerships covering the whole of the Humberside Policing area. The NEL CSP comprises representatives from statutory authorities with direct responsibility for reducing crime and disorder across our local communities, namely Humberside Police; North East Lincolnshire Council; Humberside Fire and Rescue Service; National Probation Service; Humberside, Lincolnshire and North Yorkshire Community Rehabilitation Company (local probation service); Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside; North East Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group; and other supporting partners including the Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise Alliance and Voluntary Action North East Lincolnshire.
The NEL CSP is responsible for undertaking an annual survey of member organisations and local residents and producing a Joint Strategic Intelligence Assessment based on both information from the public in receipt of community safety services and statistical results gathered by community safety partners. This information together with ongoing partnership research and wider community safety partner consultation then informs the development of an annual partnership plan. The overarching outcome of the plan is to ensure people feel safe and are safe. Specific indicators were agreed to show progress towards achieving this outcome and voluntary and community groups are actively encouraged to contribute to this plan.
Each indicator has a specific task and finish group which includes community safety operational staff, service providers and representatives from voluntary and community groups who help to identify and resolve community safety problems. These groups focus on tactical approaches to crime prevention tackling challenging, using early intervention measures for emerging issues, and designing out crime to ensure community safety is continuously improving.
