Community Safety and Well-Being Plan

Developing this plan will include:

• Listening to the community – We want to hear from you! Community engagement will help us understand the challenges and strengths in Brant.
• Identifying what’s already in place – Looking at existing programs and services that support safety and well-being.
• Finding gaps and risks – Understanding where services need to be improved, promoted, or expanded.
• Updating the action plan – Setting goals and steps to address community needs.

• Enhanced communication and collaboration among sectors, agencies and organizations;
• Transformation of service delivery, including realignment of resources and responsibilities to better respond to priorities and needs;
• Increased understanding of and focus on local risks and vulnerable groups;
• Ensuring the appropriate services are provided to those individuals with complex needs;
• Increased awareness, coordination of and access to services for community members and vulnerable groups;
• Healthier, more productive individuals that positively contribute to the community; and
• Reducing the financial burden of crime on society through cost-effective approaches with significant return on investments.

• Local priority risk factors that have been identified based on community consultations and multiple sources of data, such as Statistics Canada and local sector-specific data;
• Evidence-based programs and strategies to address those priority risk factors; and
• Measurable outcomes with associated performance measures to ensure that the strategies are effective and outcomes are being achieved.
