Perth and Kinross Community Justice Partnership and Community Safety Partnership merged in September 2021. The joining of the two Partnerships, to form the Community Justice and Safety Partnership, was in recognition of the crosscutting nature of the work of both Partnerships.
The Community Justice and Safety Partnership is committed to working with local people to prevent and reduce offending and to support those who have committed offences to integrate into their local community.
For example, where people have been sentenced to a community order with unpaid work, the Partnership looks at new and innovative ways of making sure communities fully benefit from these orders.
For people who are released from prison, the Partnership works with the local community to make sure proper support is in place to help reduce the risk of people committing further offences.
The Community Justice and Safety Partnership is made up of eight statutory partners. These are:
- Police Scotland
- NHS Tayside
- Perth and Kinross Integration Joint Board
- Perth and Kinross Council
- Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service
- Scottish Fire and Rescue Service
- Scottish Prison Service
- Skills Development Scotland
In addition, Perth and Kinross Association of Voluntary Service (PKAVS) are co-opted as a member of the Partnership representing the Third Sector.
