Agency & Resident consultation
Agency and Resident Consultation at the AGM – 18th
February 2009
Through Partners and Communities
Together (PACT) panels, residents are able to meet with local
neighbourhood police officers, council officers and elected members
on a regular basis to raise any concerns affecting them in their
community. This information is then fed back to partners through
monthly tactical meetings and priorities are set.
As well as PACT, Community Safety has
consulted frequently with residents to establish what they would
like us to be working on and ways to spend available budget. On 14
March 2009, Community Safety Officers attended locations across
Thanet to speak with residents and establish what their community
priorities were.
Many surveys were also sent to homes
across Thanet and there was a great response from local
people. This feedback has been used to
set the priorities contained in this plan.
A full transcript of the agency consultation day can be obtained

At the Community Safety Annual General
Meeting, which took place on 18 February 2009, all of the
partners in attendance were given the
opportunity to feedback on the service and give comments or
criticism, see a summary of the work that had been done over the
last year and to say thank you for the support. The reality of
crime in Thanet was also highlighted to eliminate any false
perceptions amongst partners. Bellow are a few of the questions
asked at the AGM and the scores out of ten that were given to
the Partnership:
- Co-ordination of meetings,
minutes/agenda/invites etc - 62% scored us 8 to 10
- Relevance to Thanet, in discussion of
topics - 69% scored us 8 to 10
- Relevance of topics discussed to your
role/ agency - 53% scored us 8 to 10
- Ability to respond to issues and
tackle crime - 55% scored us 8 to 10
The event gained some positive press
and in all was deemed successful by all present.
