Wealden is one of the safest places to live, work and learn in the country. The Safer Wealden Partnership is working hard to keep it that way and indeed make it even safer.
The Safer Wealden Partnership brings together a number of agencies from the public, private and voluntary sector, working together to make the community safer and reduce the fear of crime.
Our aim is simple: Improving people’s lives in Wealden’s Communities by working in partnership to reduce the levels of crime and anti-social behaviour and to manage the fear of crime.
The Safer Wealden Partnership includes representatives from the following agencies:
- Wealden District Council
- East Sussex County Council
- East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service
- Sussex Police (external link)
- The office for the Police and Crime Commissioner
- Wealden District Association of Local Councils (WDALC)
- Hailsham Community College
- The Magistrates Service
The Safer Wealden Partnership each year identifies its priorities and these are combined with other community safety partnership’s priorities across East Sussex to form the East Sussex Safer Communities Partnerships’ Business Plan .
