Delivery Plan

The BCSP Strategy produced for 2026 to 2030 is underpinned by a Delivery Plan. The overarching objectives are set out below and overall, reflect the findings of the current JSA and Bexley Community Safety Survey. 

• Keep people who live, work, study or visit Bexley safe by reducing crime and disorder, anti-social behaviour, reoffending and combating substance misuse; and
• act upon any barriers that prevent people who live, work, study or visit Bexley from feeling safe, to be a place where people can go about their everyday lives, day or night, confident in the knowledge that this is a place where people treat each other fairly and with respect, and they are safe from harm or the effects of crime and disorder.

In working together, the BCSP has also adopted the following principles: 

• facilitate partnership working and information sharing processes between relevant agencies
• support the development of intelligence around local crime and anti-social behaviour to enable resources to be deployed effectively
• manage and oversee the delivery of the BCSP themed working groups and work processes to bring about reductions in crime and anti-social behaviour
• to ensure that all agencies are supporting and training staff for effective partnership delivery

The Delivery Plan outlines the actions and outcomes against each of the BCSP priority areas which are serviced by individual multi-agency strategic working groups. On a quarterly basis it is the responsibility for the Executive group to review the actions and outcomes. A copy is also sent to the BCSP Board where the BCSP Executive Group raises any key aspects, requests, or blockages around its delivery that it is unable to rectify.

Structure and Governance

The BCSP Board has overall responsibility and oversight of the delivery against the BCSP Statutory duties and Strategy. The BCSP Executive Group sits under the BCSP Board and strategically co-ordinates actions from the Delivery Plan, and reports on progress and challenges to the Board.

The BCSP Working Groups are responsible for delivery against their subject-specialist action plans and report on this quarterly to the Executive Group. The BCSP Working Groups are multi-agency groups focused on individually approaching themed priorities of the CSP. As part of their action plans, they are responsible for seeking updates from operational delivery groups as to key successes and issues which need addressing.
