A Strategic Assessment is available for Blackpool and each of the other lower tier local authorities in Lancashire. It highlights some of the key issues and risks across Lancashire which affect the local communities. They require multi-agency engagement to improve safeguarding, reduce vulnerability, reduce crime and anti-social behaviour, and improve the well-being of our residents. These key issues have remained similar through a number of the Strategic Assessment processes in recent years as the victims are those often most vulnerable within society.
The key risks and threats impacting across Blackpool and the rest of Lancashire include:
- Domestic abuse
- Violence against Women and Girls
- Serious violence (includes gun and gang crime, and knife crime)
- Exploitation – criminal and sexual
- Organised Crime
- Road safety
- Anti-Social Behaviour
- Cyber crime
