Strategy

The refreshed Safer Telford and Wrekin Partnership strategy was implemented in September 2024 with the following priorities:
Priority 1: tackling Child Exploitation and Child sexual Exploitation
Priority 2: reducing the harm and impact of Domestic Abuse
Priority 3: addressing crime and antisocial behaviour in high harm areas
Priority 4: addressing serious youth violence
Priority 5: reducing deaths and serious injury on our roads
In line with the new strategy a priority action plan has been created to monitor the progress of each priority on a quarterly basis.
In addition to this the Partnership continued to monitor crime patterns and trends to identify issues that require a partnership response. 
Through this approach, the Safer Telford Partnership continued to apply the underlying principles of a public health approach to include:

• a focus on a defined population e.g. vulnerable children, young people and adults who are known to be most at risk

• a collaborative partnership approach – that is not limited by organisational or professional boundaries

• putting in place long term, as well as short term solutions – e.g. prevention activities, and also more support for those affected now

• an intelligence-led approach – which is based on local data and insight

• using the evidence of what works and best practice – e.g. Violence Reduction Units around the UK
