Safe in East Sussex Team

The East Sussex Safer Communities Partnership (ESSCP) is committed to: reducing and preventing crime, the fear of crime, anti-social behaviour, re-offending, domestic abuse, combating the misuse of drugs, alcohol and other substances and ensuring services are delivered effectively on a local level.

The ESSCP is the statutory County Strategy Group which provides the strategic leadership for addressing community safety matters across East Sussex. The Partnership is accountable to the East Sussex County Council Scrutiny Committee and through the Lead Member for Adult Social Care. Agencies with a responsibility for community safety are required by The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 to share information and work together to address crime and disorder.
