Safer Communities Awareness Week is an opportunity to raise the profile of community safety and highlight innovative work that is taking place across Wales. Started by the Wales Safer Communities Network the first Awareness Week took place in September 2023. And you can scroll to the bottom of this page to access recordings and summaries from past years events.
This year’s Safer Communities Awareness Week focused on prevention, partnership and early intervention. Through a series of Lunch and Learn sessions and a workshop, practitioners from across Wales explored how organisations can work together to prevent harm, support vulnerable people and build safer communities.
From 21 to 25 September 2026, we ran five Lunch and Learn sessions and a Workshop, if you missed any of the sessions catch up here: Awareness Week 2026
