| Community and Safety Well-Being Plan (CSWP) |
|
Update July 2021:
The CSWP outlines the approaches mandated by the province, as well as focuses largely on the input given to us by you. The Community Safety and Well-being Plan breaks this information down into five key parts.
1. Statistics and Information 2. Community Safety and Well-being Planning 3. Community Safety and Well-being Framework 4. Priority Risk Factors 5. Five Year Plan 2021-2026
The County of Brant is developing its Community Safety and Well-Being Plan as required by the new legislative amendments to the Police Services Act. This will be undertaken in a collaborative manner through an Advisory Committee, community partners and community members. The Ministry of the Solicitor General has given municipalities until January 1, 2021 to prepare and adopt their CSWP. Due to Covid-19, this deadline has been extended to July 1, 2021.
Developing a Community Safety and Well-Being Plan (CSWP) is about working together to ensure the right services get to the right people at the right time. It involves an integrated approach to service delivery by working with a wide range of agencies and organizations (including but not limited to local and regional government, police service, public health and mental health providers, education, social services, community and custodial services for children and youth). A CSWP involves identifying risks and proactively developing and implementing evidence-based strategies and programs to address local priorities related to crime and complex social issues. The goal of the CSWP is to support and promote sustainable communities where everyone feels safe, has a sense of belonging, access to services and where individuals and families are able to meet their education, health care, food, housing, income, social and cultural needs.
