Community Safety in Northumberland
Our Community Safety Department is dedicated to keeping people safe – both at home and when out and about across Northumberland.
​
Working as part of a large, collaborative team that includes Community Risk and Response Officers, we focus on preventing incidents before they happen. This is achieved through a wide range of community engagement initiatives, such as:
​
-
Home Fire Safety Checks – helping residents spot and reduce fire risks in their homes.
-
Educational programmes – delivered in schools and local communities to raise awareness of safety.
-
Targeted interventions – tackling issues like anti-social behaviour through education and support.
Everything we do is about giving people the knowledge, confidence, and tools to stay safe, healthy, and well-informed.
Home Fire Safety Check
Our online Home Fire Safety Check has been developed in partnership with the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC), Fire Kills, and Safelincs.
​
The simple step-by-step tool takes you through your home, room by room, asking easy questions to help identify potential fire risks. Along the way, you’ll receive practical tips and advice to reduce those risks.
​
At the end, you’ll get a personalised fire safety action plan – clear, tailored steps to help keep you and your household safe from fire.
