The Safer Vale Partnership, is committed to creating a safer environment, in which people can live, work and visit, free from crime and disorder and the fear of crime.

Through the establishment of the Partnership in 1999, many agencies have reached accord and are now working together to tackle crime and disorder. Significant reductions in crime and disorder over recent years are testimony to the success of the Partnership.

Members of the Partnership are representatives from the statutory, voluntary sectors, businesses and community groups.

The Vale of Glamorgan Council, South Wales Police, Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, South Wales Probation Service, the Vale Centre for Voluntary Services and South Wales Fire Service are all key partners.

The Partnership, through Home Office and Welsh Assembly Government funding is able to support local crime and disorder reduction projects.

Safer Vale set new priorities

The Safer Vale strategic assessment was completed in April 2010 and was endorsed by the Partnership Strategic Group during the same month.

The Partnership performed extremely well in relation to the targets set from the 2009/10 strategic assessment.  This success can be attributed to multi-agency working and community support. 

The partnership intends to continue to reduce crime and disorder and antisocial behaviour in the Vale of Glamorgan.  The 2010/11 strategic assessment has highlighted priorities that will help make the Vale a safer place to live work and visit.

Crime in the Vale of Glamorgan is currently down 12% compared to 2008/09.  The Safer Vale Partnership has set the following priorities in order to keep crime and disorder at this low level and help reduce the fear of crime.
