The Community Safety Charter

Bluebird Care have signed the Community Safety Charter, which aims to take an active stance against crimes in public spaces, such as harassment, hate crime, and antisocial behaviour.

The Charter tagline is #BeTheChange, focusing on the role of active bystanders in leading the change within their communities. The Charter supports greater understanding about how we recognise and deal with community safety issues and support victims by knowing where to get help, how and who to report to, enabling a more positive, proactive approach by the whole community when witnessing or experiencing confrontation, hostility or harassment.

By signing up to the Community Safety Charter, Bluebird Care Rushcliffe & Melton pledge to four actions: 

·  PROMOTE - promote a culture that does not tolerate harmful language, antisocial behaviour and hostility toward others.

·  ENABLE - enable others to identify and take an active stance to prevent harassment, antisocial behaviour and intimidation within their community.

·  REPORT - actively encourage and support others to report harassment, antisocial behaviour and intimidation and share intelligence about these crimes with the relevant authorities.

·  SUPPORT - support those affected by harassment, antisocial behaviour and intimidation and refer victims to the appropriate support agency.

We strongly encourage other businesses, community groups, and schools in the local area to sign up too.
