BCSP Executive Group

The BCSP Strategic Executive Group sits under the BCSP Board and strategically coordinates actions from the Delivery Plan to help reduce crime and disorder offences in the borough. The group meets quarterly.

BCSP Delivery Plan

The BCSP strategy produced for 2022 to 2025 is underpinned by a Delivery Plan. The overarching objectives are set out below and overall, reflect the findings of the current JSA and Bexley Community Safety Survey.

• Keep people who live, work, study or visit Bexley safe by reducing crime and disorder, antisocial behaviour, reoffending and combating substance misuse; and
• act upon any barriers that prevent people who live, work, study or visit Bexley from feeling safe, to be a place where people can go about their everyday lives, day or night, confident in the knowledge that this is a place where people treat each other fairly and with respect, and they are safe from harm or the effects of crime and disorder.

In working together, the BCSP has also adopted the following principles:

• Facilitate partnership working and information-sharing processes between relevant agencies
• Support the development of intelligence around local crime and antisocial behaviour to enable resources to be deployed effectively
• Manage and oversee the delivery of the BCSP-themed working groups and work processes to bring about reductions in crime and antisocial behaviour
• To ensure that all agencies are supporting and training staff for effective partnership delivery.

The delivery plan outlines the actions and outcomes against each of the BCSP priority areas which are serviced by individual multi-agency strategic working groups. On a quarterly basis, it is the responsibility of the Executive group to review the actions and outcomes. A copy is also sent to the BCSP Board where the Strategic Lead for Community Safety raises any key aspects, requests, or blockages around its delivery that the Executive Group may not be able to rectify.

BCSP Working Groups

The BCSP Working Groups are multiagency groups focused on individually approaching themed priorities of the CSP. The Working Groups sit quarterly, under the BCSP Executive Group, essentially replacing previous BCSP Delivery Group. The BCSP Working Groups strategically coordinate and deliver individual action plans with a bottom-up approach, beginning from the Operational Groups to the Executive Group.
