Community Safety Partnership
The Bridgend Community Safety Partnership (CSP) involves various agencies from the public, private and voluntary sector that work together to reduce crime, disorder and fear of crime locally, in order to improve the quality of life and to create a safer living and working environment.
The partnership aims to tackle the needs of both individuals and communities to enable them to feel safer and enjoy increased opportunities within their local communities.
The statutory members of the Community Safety Partnership are:
- Bridgend County Borough Council
- South Wales Police
- South Wales Fire and Rescue Service
- Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board
- National Probation Service
These organisations do not have to be members of the partnership, but they have chosen to be:
- the Police and Crime Commissioner
- the elected member for community safety
- the Cwm Taf Morgannwg Safeguarding Board
- registered social landlords
- Department of Work and Pensions
- Bridgend Association of Voluntary Organisations

Prevent uses the support of people in our communities to reach those who may be drawn into terrorism often through extremist views.
