Safety first

Conference tackles community issues

Mimi Leggett, a Radian resident for all her working life, was one of more than 140 people from across six counties planning what Radian should do for the next three years to build community safety, at  Radian’s Community Safety Conference, "The conference gave me a feeling of support and the chance to help Radian create vibrant and safer communities." Mimi said

During the conference residents, staff, the Police and local councils looked at a number of issues such as victim and witness support, youth, domestic abuse, partnership working and building communities.

Petra Norris, our Community Safety Manager, asked everyone involved at the conference to decide on what Radian is doing well, what we can improve on, what new things we should do and how we measure success.

Mimi said, “The workshops gave residents and staff alike the chance to voice their ideas to help Radian make our homes and estates feel safer.”  She praised the presentation from Mankind Initiative, a national charity that supports male victims of domestic abuse.   “There was a great deal of empathy for them,” she said. She also commended a talk by Street Watch which organises civilian street patrols.
