gender-based violence
Southwark Council is enhancing community safety by implementing recommendations to improve crime reporting and staff training.
In March 2026, Southwark Council's Cabinet accepted ten recommendations from its Housing, Community Safety and Community Engagement Scrutiny Commission. These aim to enhance community safety across the borough, with a focus on improving crime reporting and enhancing training for frontline staff. Eight recommendations were accepted in full, and two partially.
This work contributes to addressing violence directed against individuals because of their gender, or violence that disproportionately affects a particular gender. The accepted recommendations form part of the council's ongoing efforts to improve safety and support for residents.
