Safer communities desktop reviews
The Safer Communities team at the LGA are delighted to be able to offer, for the first time, desktop peer reviews.
A desktop peer review (DPR) is a critical evaluation of your community safety partnership's key documents by accredited practitioners from your own sector, operating on a voluntary basis. This process will give you a thorough, independent perspective on the strategic assessments, partnership plans and other documentation your partnership produces, enabling you to improve at zero cost.
How does it work?
- Partnerships express an interest with the Safer Communities team who will then discuss your needs with you.
- You submit your documents to us and we will match these with three suitable accredited peers from our extensive pool.
- The peers then have 15 working days to read and assess your document.
- They will provide written feedback of no more than 1,000 words each, with comments throughout your documents.
The feedback will remain confidential and it is your choice whether you decide to act upon the recommendations made.
Who are the peers?
All of our peers are highly-experienced community safety practitioners who have been assessed and accredited by our robust system. They have agreed to undertake this work as part of their commitment to improving the sector.
What's the cost?
It is free. All we ask is that you complete a short evaluation form on the process following the submission of feedback.
