Annual Report 2023/24

Please note: Posts published before 2026 may reference our former name, the Scottish Community Safety Network (SCSN)

2023/24 was one of the most challenging periods in our 27-year history. Significant funding reductions meant difficult changes to our team and services. Despite these challenges, we continued to deliver for the community safety sector across Scotland.

Highlights included:

  • Publishing joint research with Scottish Government on ‘A New Approach to Anti-Social Behaviour’
  • Hosting our first hybrid conference with COSLA
  • Launching a Community Safety Lens for the Place Standard Tool with Public Health Scotland
  • Presenting at the EU Safety Conference in Reykjavik
  • Delivering learning sessions on Firework Control Zones, Rail Safety, Glasgow’s Drug Consumption Room and more
  • Co-sponsoring the Community-Based Youth Work Award at the National Youth Work Awards

This report is a tribute to our departed colleagues and a foundation for what comes next.
