Meath Local Community Safety Partnership: Call for Representatives
Meath PPN is seeking 4 representatives for Meath Local Community Safety Partnership.
What is the Meath Local Community Safety Partnership?
Local Community Safety Partnerships (LCSPs) aim to prioritise the voice of local people in identifying and addressing community safety issues in collaboration with broad range of relevant stakeholders including local councillors, An Garda Síochána, community representatives, business and education representatives, and a range of statutory agencies including the HSE, Tusla and each local authority.
The Policing Security and Community Safety Act 2024, which came into operation on 2 April 2025, places the LCSPs on a statutory footing. Under the Act, 36 Partnerships will be rolled out nationwide covering each Local Authority area.
What is the purpose of the Meath Local CSP?
The objective is to bring the relevant bodies together with communities in a collaborative manner, by focusing on the concerns identified and prioritised by local people. The newly established LCSP will be required to develop and implement its own tailored community safety plan and will take a strategic approach to their work so that issues arising can be dealt with in a coordinated manner; addressed collectively by relevant service providers in partnership with the community.
What is time commitment required from CSP Representatives?
Required meetings include 4 meetings of the CSP, 1 public meeting of the CSP and 1 meeting of the CSP with Elected Members.
