Coming soon | Place Standard Tool: Community Safety Lens
We’re collaborating with Public Health Scotland (PHS) to develop a community safety lens of the Place Standard Tool (PST).
This new resource will be free to all. It will help citizens and communities assess how safe their environments feel, and help identify opportunities for prevention, collaboration and improvement in the places we live and work.
Check back soon to explore and download this exciting resource once it’s launched.
