Community Safety Plan 2026-29
Everyone in Kensington and Chelsea should feel safe at home, at work and in public spaces. Our Community Safety Plan 2026–2029 sets out how the Council, police and partners will work together to prevent crime, tackle antisocial behaviour and support people affected by crime.
What’s in the Community Safety Plan?
The plan sets out the priorities and actions of the Safer Kensington and Chelsea Partnership, known as the Safer K and C Partnership. It brings together the Council, police, fire, probation and public health services, alongside residents, voluntary and community organisations and other partners.
Our vision is a safer Kensington and Chelsea where residents, businesses and visitors feel safe, crime is prevented, and communities work together to reduce harm and improve wellbeing.
The plan focuses on the issues that matter most to residents, cause the greatest harm and require organisations to work together to achieve lasting change.
Our priorities
The plan has five priorities:
- antisocial behaviour
- hate crime
- youth violence and exploitation
- violence against women and girls
- property crime, including robbery, burglary, theft from a person, vehicle theft and theft from vehicles
Drug misuse is a cross-cutting priority. This means that work across all five priorities will address drug misuse and related offending, recognising the harm they cause to individuals, families and communities.
These priorities have been shaped by residents’ experiences and views, engagement with community organisations and local partners, analysis of crime and antisocial behaviour, and evidence of what works.
How we will deliver the plan
Across the priorities, we will work together to:
- identify and support victims
- hold offenders to account and support them to change their behaviour
- support and engage communities
- ensure services are effective, trusted and accessible
The Safer K and C Partnership Board oversees delivery of the plan. Progress will be monitored through performance measures, reviewed annually, alongside feedback from residents and partners.
The plan supports the partnership’s responsibilities to work together to reduce crime and disorder, consult communities, share information and monitor progress.
How residents can get involved
Residents can help shape community safety through local police ward panels, the Safer Neighbourhood Board, the Stop and Search Community Monitoring Group and the resident-led CCTV Advisory Group.
